A small Veterans Affairs clinic just closed in Oregon. Is the Trump or Biden administration to blame?

The Department of Veterans Affairs will end the VASP mortgage assistance program on May 1, 2025.
The program, launched in May 2024, assists veterans facing foreclosure on VA-backed home loans.
VASP purchased over 17,000 delinquent loans valued at nearly $5.5 billion to keep veterans in their homes.
Senator Blumenthal stated that eliminating the program is "an act of cruelty and incompetence."
The VA's decision followed criticism, and House Republicans intend to create a partial claim program.

Letter: In the face of cuts, a special thanks to veterans and the Veterans Administration
