The VA issued four Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loans in New York during the first quarter of fiscal year 2023, compared to two loans the previous quarter, according to figures provided by the Veterans Affairs Home Loans Index.

Loans issued in the first quarter of fiscal year 2023 equaled $624,054. This is an increase from the $428,200 issued the previous quarter.

The VA assists service members, veterans, and eligible surviving spouses in achieving 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 members buy, build or repair their homes. Loan types may include purchase loans, Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loans (IRRRL), and Adapted Housing Grants, which are geared toward veterans with a service-connected disability.

The VA's fiscal year runs from Oct. 1 to Sept. 30.
