Veterans or servicemembers who have specific service-connected disabilities may be entitled to a grant from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for the purpose of constructing an adapted
home or modifying an existing home to meet their
adaptive needs. The goal of the Specially Adapted Housing (SAH)
Grant Program is to provide a barrier-free living environment
that affords the veterans or servicemembers a level of independent living he or she may not normally enjoy.
Grants provided under the SAH program may also be
used outside the United States. However, it
must be reasonably practicable for VA to provide
assistance in acquiring specially adapted housing
for the designated country or political subdivision
outside the United States. For more
information on use of such grants, please contact
Brian N. Bixler, Chief, Specially Adapted Housing,
on (202) 461-9546 or via Email at:
brian.bixler@va.gov.
There are two types of grants administered by VA,
which are available to assist severely disabled veterans
or servicemembers in adapting housing to their special needs.
The following fact sheets provide information on the
Specially Adapted Housing Grant (SAH) and the
