Helping More Veterans Understand and Utilize Their Earned VA Home Loan Benefit

On June 22, 2026, the U.S. Senate passed the bipartisan 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act by a vote of 85-5, including the VA Loan Informed Disclosure (VALID) Act.

"The VALID Act helps ensure veterans are informed about the VA Home Loan benefit they earned through service. Better information leads to better decisions and greater access to homeownership."
— Lynn Jabs, Chair, VHFA/VAREP National Legislative Committee

We thank the Senate for its bipartisan support and extend our sincere appreciation to Senators John Boozman and Chris Van Hollen for their leadership and commitment to expanding veteran homeownership opportunities through the VALID Act.

VAREP is proud to have worked alongside congressional champions from both parties to help advance this important legislation.
