SUMMARY:From Service to Stability: Advancing Veteran Homeownership 2026 Q2 Symposium | Homeownership Pillar
DESCRIPTION:The LendingTree Foundation’s 2026 Q2 Symposium\, From Service to Stability: Advancing Veteran Homeownership\, will explore how cross-sector collaboration can expand access to sustainable homeownership for veterans. Centered on the power of public-private partnerships\, this event will bring together leaders from financial institutions\, higher education\, and community organizations who are working to better serve those who have served our country. The symposium will begin with a lender-focused conversation\, highlighting how financial institutions are designing and delivering specialized mortgage products\, improving access to capital\, and addressing the unique needs of veteran borrowers.
