The Coast Guard is an entity of two different government departments.

Legally, and primarily, the Coast Guard enforce maritime law through the Department of Homeland Security.

However, during wartime, the Coast Guard can temporarily be put under the Department of Defense, and act as a fifth branch of the military.

Does the National Guard make your house paynents if call to active duty?

Not likely. You would still be responsible for house payments. However, you would be paid some amount by the National Guard, probably more for active duty. No. While on active duty you receive regular duty pay and benefits, not from the National Guard (or Reserves), but from the Federal Government (Army, Navy, Air Force) (Marines & Coast Guard fall under Navy). Also time served on active duty counts toward retirement.
