Referred to the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs.
The bill expresses the sense of Congress that foreclosure of VA‑guaranteed homes should be a last resort and that the Department of Veterans Affairs should use its authority under 38 U.S.C. §3732(a)(2) and related laws to help veterans keep their homes. It proposes to amend 38 U.S.C. §3732(a)(2)(A) to clarify the VA Servicing Purchasing (VASP) program language.
Liberals stress veteran housing protections; conservatives stress taxpayer cost and moral hazard.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill combines a nonbinding statement of Congressional intent with a proposed statutory amendment to VA authority.
