Veterans that have specific service-connected disabilities may be entitled to a grant from the Department of Veterans Affairs for the purpose of constructing an adapted dwelling or modifying an existing home to meet their needs. The goal of the Specially Adapted Housing (SAH) Program is to provide a barrier-free living environment which affords the veteran a level of independent living he or she may not normally enjoy.

  There are two types of grants administered by VA which are available to assist severely disabled veterans in adapting housing to their special needs. The grants are listed below along with links to SAH grant questions & answers. If you would like more information or to talk with a VA agent, please contact the SAH agent in your area.
  • Part I, the Specially Adapted Housing Grant is available to disabled veterans who are entitled a wheelchair accessible home especially adapted for their needs.


  • Part II, the Special Home Adaptations Grant is available to veterans who are entitled to adaptations because of blindness in both eyes with 5/200 visual acuity or less, or includes the anatomical loss or loss of both hands.
