Changing How Veterans are Served!

The Aligned Education Foundation story is an important one, not just for the service members and Veterans we serve, but for the founders and all the employees graced with a great place to work. Our founders, Tony Dias and Chris Cano, Veterans themselves, worked in the mortgage industry for many years. They grew tired of the way Veterans were being served. The Lenders Handbook – VA Pamphlet 26-7 – establishes requirements for lenders regarding the VA home loan benefit. However, lenders are putting additional requirements, called overlays, into the equation more often making homeownership difficult for Veterans to qualify for. Even worse, Veterans are being taken advantage of and it’s costing them thousands of dollars. In 2019 Tony and Chris decided it was time to fight for those who fought for us and created a 501(c)3 Veteran owned non-profit focusing on educating Veterans about their VA home loan benefit…….and that’s how Aligned Education Foundation (AEF) was born!!!
