About This Program
The Grant Map catalogs CalVet Home Loan Program in its San Jose, CA research directory. The record carries audience tags for homeowners; those tags do not establish eligibility or current service coverage.
The CalVet Home Loan Program provides California veterans with competitive interest rate mortgage loans for home purchase or improvement. CalVet loans can be paired with a contract of sale that bundles home insurance and disaster insurance, a unique benefit for California veterans. While primarily a purchase loan, CalVet financing can be used to purchase a fixer-upper that needs improvements.
