For the first time, VA has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the Native American Direct Loan (NADL) program with the Cherokee Nation. The Cherokee Nation is one of the latest tribes to sign an agreement with VA, and this MOU opens the door for Veterans, service members and their spouses to apply for a NADL to buy, build or modify a home on federal trust lands. In addition to offering low interest rates, NADL offers Native American Veterans other benefits, including no private mortgage insurance, no down payments, limited closing costs, the ability to refinance loans and a benefit they can use repeatedly throughout their lives.
