The HISA Grant (Home Improvement Structural Alterations) is a benefit based on medical need determined by your Primary Care Provider. It is limited to the improvement and structural alterations necessary to assure the continuation of treatment and/or to provide access to the home or essential lavatory and sanitary facilities. Some examples are:

The Automobile Adaptive Program is a program for a specific group of Veterans. These Veterans must be service connected for loss of or loss of use of a hand, arm, foot or leg. Vehicles can be adapted to allow our Veterans access to their vehicle and ability to continue to drive their vehicles.
To utilize the Prosthetic Services you must be enrolled in the VA System and your VA Provider must send a request for needed items along with medical justification.
Home visits are completed when necessary to determine if ramping and bathroom modifications are able to be completed.
