Expanded Eligibility SAH Overview

Housing Grants for Disabled Veterans

VA provides grants to Servicemembers and Veterans with certain permanent and total service-connected disabilities to help purchase or construct an adapted home, or modify an existing home to accommodate a disability. Two grant programs exist: the Specially Adapted Housing (SAH) grant and the Special Housing Adaptation (SHA) grant.

Specially Adapted Housing (SAH) Grant

SAH grants help Veterans with certain service-connected disabilities live independently in a barrier-free environment. SAH grants can be used in one of the following ways:

  • Construct a specially adapted home on land to be acquired
  • Build a home on land already owned if it is suitable for specially adapted housing
  • Remodel an existing home if it can be made suitable for specially adapted housing
  • Apply the grant against the unpaid principal mortgage balance of an adapted home already acquired without the assistance of a VA grant
  • View and share VA’s SHA infographic to help spread the word

Special Housing Adaptation (SHA) Grant

SHA grants help Veterans with certain service-connected disabilities adapt or purchase a home to accommodate the disability. You can use SHA grants in one of the following ways:

  • Adapt an existing home the Veteran or a family member already owns in which the Veteran lives
  • Adapt a home the Veteran or family member intends to purchase in which the Veteran will live
  • Help a Veteran purchase a home already adapted in which the Veteran will live

Eligibility

If you are a Servicemember or Veteran with a permanent and total service-connected disability, you may be entitled to a Specially Adapted Housing (SAH) grant or a Special Housing Adaptation (SHA) grant. The table below provides an overview of VA’s housing grant programs for Veterans with certain service-connected disabilities.

]]> Have you ever wondered how to build an addition on to a brick home when the original brick  is no longer available?  Most people just opt to do some alternative type of siding.  It may be  vinyl or some other type of painted siding.  This is certainly a viable option but it becomes impossible to hide the fact that a portion was added on  and will never look like part of the original design.   We did an addition on a home awhile back and that is the exact dilemma we faced.

Here is a before picture…Tucker Addition (1)Here is a picture during construction….Tucker Addition (3)

 

As you can see in the  gallery below, the difference between the new brick and old brick is quite startling at this point!  It is at this point when the homeowner starts to wonder if they made a big mistake!

 

Here is a view of the house after completion.  These pictures were taken several years later and things are still looking really good.  It’s not a perfect match but the casual observer would never notice or even think about it.  What do you think?
