Native Americans using a special Veterans Affairs home loan program will see their interest rates slashed by more than half as part of a new inititative to make housing more affordable for them.
The move is only expected to affect a few hundred veterans over the next few years. But it represents the latest in a series of outreach efforts by VA officials to disenfranchised groups of veterans and specifically to Native Americans, whose unique status has sometimes caused difficulties in obtaining department benefits.

SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL Sorry if this offends anyone but all Veterans should get their rates lowered if one group does.

I noticed the words, "unique status". Native Americans are not "American" they are Native American. I think this unique status was used against them when they tried to use the system available to other veterans, that somehow allowed for the workers to not let them participate in the system you or I may have access to, and not even realize they were blocking others.

I support this in every way, but I think all vets should get lower VA rates as well. To include S/C veterans that can’t work…
