The recent surge in VA foreclosures is more than a troubling statistic—it’s a national crisis that demands immediate attention. In January 2025 alone, foreclosure starts for VA-backed loans skyrocketed by 30%, with foreclosure sales jumping by 25%. This staggering increase comes on the heels of the Department of Veterans Affairs’ (VA) decision to end its foreclosure moratorium at the close of 2024. Now, thousands of veterans—who once risked their lives to protect our freedoms—find themselves at risk of losing their homes, their stability, and their dignity.
For years, the foreclosure moratorium provided a vital safeguard, protecting veteran families from being thrust into homelessness due to economic hardships. With its expiration, these protections have vanished, leaving many vulnerable to predatory lending practices, mounting debts, and a housing market that shows little mercy. This is not just an economic downturn; it’s a systemic failure to uphold our nation’s promise to those who served.
At the KOVH Foundation, we witness the devastation firsthand. Veterans and their families, already burdened by service-related disabilities, PTSD, and financial instability, are now facing a battle they never expected: fighting to keep a roof over their heads. Many are left with nowhere to turn, and the resources available to them are either inadequate or riddled with bureaucratic red tape.
This crisis is not just unacceptable—it’s a disgrace. The very people who defended our homes are now losing theirs. The government’s failure to provide sustainable solutions for struggling veterans is a betrayal of trust and a blatant disregard for their sacrifices.
We refuse to stand by and watch as those who gave so much are cast aside. KOVH Foundation is working relentlessly to provide direct assistance, raise public awareness, and advocate for systemic change. Through our 'We've Got Your Backs' care package initiative, we offer vital support to families facing foreclosure, ensuring they do not go through this nightmare alone. But our mission extends beyond temporary relief. We are pushing for legislative reforms that will prevent another surge in VA foreclosures, demanding accountability from those in power.
But we cannot do this alone. We need every American who values our veterans to take action. Here’s how you can help:
Donate Today: Every dollar goes directly toward assisting veteran families on the brink of losing their homes.
Raise Your Voice: Share this message, tell your friends, and demand change. Awareness is the first step toward justice.
Call Your Representatives: Urge lawmakers to implement stronger protections for veteran homeowners and extend foreclosure relief programs.
Support Our Fundraising Efforts: Purchasing our ‘I love the smell of diesel in the morning’ keychains or bracelets helps fund critical initiatives aimed at preventing veteran homelessness.
This is not just a cause—it’s a moral obligation. We owe it to our veterans to ensure they are not abandoned in their time of need. The fight for their homes is the fight for their future, and we must not lose it.
Stand with KOVH Foundation. Stand with our veterans. Act now.
