Wailana Kamauu is one of more than 550 Veterans and service members who have used the Native American Direct Loan (NADL) program throughout the Native Hawaiian, Samoan and Marshall Island region.
The NADL program helps eligible Veterans and service members secure low-interest mortgage rate loans (currently 2.5%) and then stands by them each step of the way through purchase or construction.
"As a Native Hawaiian Veteran building a primary residence on the Department of Hawaiian Homes Land (DHHL), the Native American Direct Loan (NADL) program was critical in helping us bring our dream to fruition," said Wailana Kamauu, who recently built this home in Hawaii.
VA NADL staff are actively working with many other Native American Veterans to help them secure the loans they need to buy and build their forever homes.
