A 428% Surge in VA Foreclosures: Why Veteran Families Need Us Now More Than Ever

In recent months, we’ve witnessed a shocking and heartbreaking trend: VA foreclosures have surged by 428% since the expiration of critical safeguard programs that once kept veteran families safe in their homes. This dramatic increase isn’t just a statistic—it represents thousands of veteran families who stood tall for our nation, now standing on the edge of losing the very homes they fought to protect.

When the pandemic-era protections and the Veteran Assistance safeguard measures expired, many military families were left without lifelines. Missed payments, job instability, medical challenges, and the rising cost of living have collided into a perfect storm, pushing families into foreclosure at an unprecedented rate. For many, the weight of foreclosure is not just financial—it’s emotional, mental, and deeply personal.

Why This Matters

A home is more than a roof and four walls. For veterans, it is stability after service, a safe place for children, and a foundation for healing and rebuilding lives. Losing that stability can unravel everything—from mental health to family bonds.

This 428% spike makes one thing very clear: veteran families cannot weather this storm alone. They need us—our awareness, our advocacy, and our support.

How the KOVH Foundation Is Responding

At the KOVH Foundation, we refuse to let these families stand in the fight alone. Through our “We’ve Got Your Back Packs” program, we provide veteran families facing foreclosure—or recovering from it—with tangible relief and emotional encouragement.

These care packs include essentials, resources, and personal touches that remind families that they are seen, valued, and supported. They are more than backpacks; they are a message of hope: “You are not alone. We’ve got your back.”

How You Can Help

The crisis is growing faster than ever, but together, we can be the difference. Here’s how you can stand with veteran families today:

• Support the KOVH Foundation: Every donation helps us create and deliver more “We’ve Got Your Back Packs.”

• Spread the Word: Share the reality of the 428% foreclosure increase with your community. Awareness leads to action.

• Advocate: Urge leaders to restore and strengthen programs that protect veteran homeowners.

This crisis is not just about numbers—it’s about families, neighbors, and heroes. If we don’t act now, too many veterans will be left without a place to call home.

Let’s show them that after serving our country, they will never have to fight alone.
