Timeline: N/A – No specific implementation deadline provided

Summary: On July 30, 2025, H.R. 1815, the VA Home Loan Program Reform Act, was enacted to amend title 38 of the U.S. Code. It empowers the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to take specific actions in the event of a default on VA-guaranteed home loans and includes other reforms to support veteran home loan programs. While the legislation primarily affects veterans, there are indirect implications for Vanderbilt University, particularly in supporting veteran students’ financial stability and housing. The university may need to adjust support services and monitor changes impacting veteran enrollment and retention.

Key Actions: Review legislative changes to tailor veteran student support; engage policymakers for potential collaborations; assess financial aid impacts for veteran students facing loan default challenges.
