The holiday season should be a time of joy, family, and reflection. But for thousands of veteran families across the United States, this Christmas brings anxiety and fear as the VA’s moratorium on foreclosures is set to expire on December 31st. At Keep Our Vets Housed (KOVH), we are sounding the alarm and calling for urgent action to ensure no veteran is left out in the cold.
A Looming Crisis
The foreclosure moratorium provided temporary relief to struggling homeowners, including many veterans who have faced economic hardship in recent years. With the moratorium ending, thousands of veterans risk losing their homes at a time when freezing temperatures and the challenges of the holiday season compound their difficulties.
Veterans often face unique struggles, including service-related disabilities, PTSD, and employment transitions, making it harder to recover from financial setbacks. For many, their homes are not just shelter—they are stability and security hard-earned through service to our country.
The Mission of KOVH
KOVH was founded to fight for veteran families facing foreclosure and homelessness. Inspired by personal experience, our mission is to provide advocacy, resources, and support to keep veterans housed and prevent foreclosure crises.
We work tirelessly to:
Raise awareness about the veteran foreclosure crisis.
Advocate for legislative and policy changes to provide long-term solutions.
Offer resources and guidance to help veterans navigate financial challenges.
This holiday season, we are redoubling our efforts to bring attention to the expiration of the VA’s moratorium and push for extended protections for veteran families.
