This bill would establish a five-year pilot program under the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to make direct housing loans to veterans in rural areas for the construction of new homes.

Fetched verbatim passage. AI summary (separate from source): In the lookback window, Perez announced introduction of the Veterans Owner-Builders’ Rights Act, matching the promised five-year VA direct-loan pilot. This is concrete legislative effort, but the release describes a bill, not enactment or implementation.
