The Trump administration has pulled the plug on a key veterans' mortgage assistance programme, leaving thousands facing foreclosure. More than 10,000 veterans lost their homes since the Department of Veterans Affairs terminated the Servicing Purchase programme on 1 May 2025.
Another 90,000 are currently behind on their mortgages or in the foreclosure process, according to industry data from ICE Mortgage Technology. Foreclosures on VA-backed loans have reached their highest level in a decade as of April 2026.
