The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) issued 2,651 home loans totaling $2 billion in Hawaii during the fiscal year 2025, according to figures provided by the VA Home Loans Index.

This was 552 more than in 2024, when Hawaii’s VA loan totals numbered 2,099, amounting to $1.5 billion.

This represents a 26.3% increase year over year.

The VA assists service members, veterans and eligible surviving spouses to achieve homeownership through loans provided by banks and mortgage companies.

A portion of the loan is guaranteed by the VA, which allows the lender to provide better rates.

Several VA housing programs can help eligible individuals buy, build, or repair their homes. These include Purchase Loans, Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loans (IRRRL), and Adapted Housing Grants, which are designed for veterans with service-connected disabilities.
