Supporting military children during a permanent change of station
The Month of the Military Child is recognized every April by the VA. This acknowledgement highlights the resilience and sacrifice of military children who face unique challenges. As their parents serve, these children often have to adapt to new schools, friendships, and communities with little notice.
During the spring and summer, military families experience a high volume of Permanent Change of Station moves, which can be a time of uncertainty. The VA Home Loan Program provides security for these families as they navigate their next chapter. Further details about the Month of the Military Child and the VA Home Loan Program are available from the VA.
