Veterans facing difficulties with their VA‑guaranteed mortgage now have a new potential lifeline — the VA Partial Claim Program , authorized under the VA Home Loan Program Reform Act . While this program represents a major step forward in protecting veteran homeowners, it’s important to understand where it stands today and how veterans can prepare. What the Law Says Signed into law on July 30, 2025 , the VA Home Loan Program Reform Act allows the Department of Veterans Affair

This holiday season, the KOVH Foundation  is launching something simple — yet powerful: The $1 Veteran Challenge. We’re challenging every veteran, every military family, and every American who believes in paying it forward  to give just $1  to help bring Christmas to a veteran family in need. 🎯 The Mission Each year, KOVH Foundation’s Adopt a Veteran Family for Christmas  program connects struggling veteran families with donors who ensure their children wake up to a tree, gi

You may have seen headlines claiming that the Affordable Care Act (ACA) is funding billions in healthcare for undocumented immigrants. These claims often create confusion and political outrage, but the reality is much more nuanced — and it has very real implications for the families KOVH Foundation serves. What the Headlines Don’t Tell You Federal law clearly states that undocumented immigrants cannot  receive ACA marketplace subsidies, regular Medicaid, or Medicare. Federal

This holiday season, the KOVH Foundation  is proud to launch our 2025 Adopt a Veteran Family for Christmas  program — a heartfelt initiative bringing hope, joy, and relief to veteran families who have served our nation and now find themselves facing tough times.

As the United States government remains shut down  due to Congress’s failure to pass a funding agreement, millions of Americans — including veterans and their families — are feeling the effects. The shutdown began on October 1, 2025 , after lawmakers were unable to agree on a Continuing Resolution (CR) to keep federal operations funded. This is now the longest government shutdown since 2019 , and its impact reaches far beyond Washington. At the Keep Our Vets Housed (KOVH) Fou

At the KOVH Foundation, our mission is simple but powerful: to ensure veteran families facing the threat of losing their homes are not left to fight alone. Every day, we witness the courage of these families and are reminded of the sacrifices our veterans have made to protect our freedom. It is our duty—and our privilege—to stand with them. The Silent Crisis of Veteran Foreclosures - Too often, the struggles of veteran families go unnoticed. Financial hardships, medical bills

Across America, veteran families are fighting to stay afloat as costs continue to rise, wages remain stagnant, and vital safety nets disappear. For many, the dream of homeownership — often achieved through a hard-earned VA loan — is now under threat. Recent tariff policies are adding fuel to that fire, directly impacting veteran households and worsening the ongoing VA foreclosure crisis. The Hidden Cost of Tariffs for Veteran Families Tariffs are often presented as economic t

Across America, millions of families are feeling the pinch of rising costs — but for veteran families already fighting to stay housed and financially stable, increasing insurance premiums can push them to the breaking point. Insurance is supposed to protect families from crisis. But when premiums rise faster than wages or benefits, it becomes one more financial burden that can cause the very instability it was meant to prevent. At the KOVH Foundation, we see firsthand how thi

As the holiday season approaches, we often envision warmth, family gatherings, gifts under the tree, and the joy of celebration. But for many families—especially veteran families facing financial struggles—this holiday season will look very different. The reality is that economic hardship, rising costs, and housing instability can make what should be a joyful time feel heavy, stressful, and uncertain. At the KOVH Foundation, we understand the challenges families face when try
