What SAH and SHA grants pay for
These grants pay to build a home for a veteran with a qualifying severe disability, or to adapt the home the veteran already has. The VA names ramps, lifts, doorway widening and full interior adaptation.
That goes far past one fix. At up to $126,526, an SAH grant can reach every room on the daily route, from the entry to the bathroom to the bedroom.
Who can apply for SAH or SHA
The veteran needs a service connected disability that qualifies, and the application goes in on VA Form 26-4555. The VA decides which grant fits, if either does.
Where we fit with a VA adaptation grant
We are not enrolled with the VA for SAH or SHA, and we do not fill out the form for you. We also do not build new houses. Our work is changing the house the veteran lives in now.
If the VA asks for a contractor's scope, we can give one after the Livability Assessment, itemized, with a fixed price on each part. With a grant this large the order of the work matters, and our report ranks every room by how dangerous it is, so the worst problem gets the money first.
Keep the house moving while the VA reviews the file. A burned out stair light or a loose bathroom rug sits outside any grant and can be fixed this week.
