A new program revealed by West Virginia yesterday will help veterans purchase their first home. State Treasurer Riley Moore and Senate Majority Whip Ryan Weld announced the new plan from the West Virginia Housing Development Fund yesterday in Weirton. Vets and other qualified service members will be able to become eligible for the new loan program with reduced rates, and as little as 25-hundred dollars down. The lock period for new 30-year mortgages can begin next Thursday.
