Soldier Next Door™ Unveils Major Website Overhaul to Better Serve Military Families Nationwide
Updated platform simplifies access to VA home loans, housing grants, and down payment assistance for active duty, veterans, and military families
As a military family that moves frequently, buying a home always felt intimidating. Soldier Next Door made the process clear, supportive, and far less stressful.”
TAMPA BAY, FL, UNITED STATES, February 5, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Next Door Programs® today announced the complete overhaul of its Soldier Next Door™ website, a national home-buying assistance program designed specifically for military families. The redesigned platform provides a clearer, more streamlined path to VA home loans, housing grants, and down payment assistance for active duty service members, veterans, National Guard and Reserve members, military spouses, and transitioning service members.— Craig, Cayle & Craig Luca - Boston, Massachusetts
The updated Soldier Next Door™ page brings together critical information military families need when navigating the home-buying process — including eligibility details, VA and non-VA loan options, relocation support, and access to non-repayable housing grants of up to $9,000 and down payment assistance of up to $24,000, based on location and eligibility.
“We rebuilt the Soldier Next Door page to reflect the real needs of military families — clarity, speed, and trustworthy guidance,” said Steve Parks, National Director of Next Door Programs®. “This update makes it easier for service members and veterans to understand their options, reduce out-of-pocket costs, and move forward with confidence.”
The redesigned site highlights how military income — including base pay, BAH, BAS, bonuses, and special duty pay — may be used for mortgage qualification. It also explains how grants and down payment assistance can often be combined with VA, FHA, USDA, or conventional home loans, allowing families to purchase any home on the open market, not just government or military properties.
Military families who have used the program say the updated approach reflects the level of support they experienced firsthand.
“As a military family that moves frequently, buying a home always felt intimidating,” said Craig, Cayle & Craig Luca of Boston, Massachusetts. “Soldier Next Door made the process clear, supportive, and far less stressful, and their knowledge of the VA loan process was invaluable.”
In addition to educational resources, the updated Soldier Next Door™ platform emphasizes the program’s personalized approach. Every applicant is matched with a dedicated Program Specialist, rather than a call center, to help navigate grants, loan options, and relocation timing — including PCS moves and transitions to civilian life.
The updated Soldier Next Door™ page is now live and available nationwide at:
