I’m going to continue working to see my legislation to ... expand veterans’ access to the VA Home Loan program signed into law.
Expand veterans' access to the VA Home Loan program.
Occurrences
Evidence
The House passed H.R. 6644, the Housing for the 21st Century Act, on May 20, 2026, by a 396-13 vote. The clerk record shows the bill passed the House on a motion to suspend the rules and pass, as amended.
Pappas said the House-passed ROAD to Housing package included the VA Home Loan Awareness Act, which would add a Uniform Residential Loan Application disclosure to help more veterans take advantage of the VA Home Loan program. He said he would keep working to see the legislation signed into law.
Assessments
Pappas materially advanced the promise by securing House passage of housing legislation that included the VA Home Loan Awareness Act, aimed at improving veterans' awareness of and access to the VA Home Loan program. However, the evidence shows only House passage as of May 20, 2026, and Pappas himself said enactment was still pending, so the promised expansion had not yet been fully delivered into law or implemented.
