These new homes will be made available for purchase through the LHA, and will be marketed to veterans.<\/p>\n<p>The program is expected to begin during fiscal year 2014\/2015.<\/p>\n<p>The CalVet Home Loan program is designed to help veterans save money, simplify the lending process, and help them protect their investment. CalVet offers home loans to veterans at below market interest rates with low or no down payment. In addition, CalVet Home Loans has expanded eligibility.\u00a0 According to CalVet, nearly any veteran wanting to buy a home in California is eligible.<\/p>\n<p>To participate in this new program, veterans must first qualify for the CalVet loan. The amount of the CalVet loan provided may not exceed the appraised value of the home.<\/p>\n<p>Veterans who are interested in obtaining a CalVet home loan should visit CalVet online at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.calvet.ca.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.calvet.ca.gov<\/a> or call 866-653-2510.<\/p>\n<div>&#8211;<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LANCASTER \u00a0\u2013 The Lancaster Housing Authority (LHA) today announced a partnership with the California Department of Veterans Affairs (CalVet) to offer affordable housing and home loans to veterans.
