Specially Adapted Housing Grant (SAH) t (SAH)
The SAH grant can be used to help a veteran enjoy barrier- free living and increased mobility in their existing or a newly purchased home. There are three ways this grant can help disabled veterans live a more accessible life in their homes. They are: • Adapting an existing home the veteran or a family member owns where the veteran lives • Adapting a home the veteran or family member intends to purchase where the veteran will live • And helping a veteran buy a home that has already been modified to fit the veteran’s needs This can mean buying or making a home wheelchair accessible, or adapting a home for a veteran who has experienced a loss of sight, or the loss or loss of use of both hands, certain severe burns, or certain respiratory or breathing injuries. The program has a cap of 120 grants per fiscal year, but if the cap has been reached, you may be able to use the benefit in the following fiscal year. The maximum grant amount changes annually. For 2021, that maximum is $100,896.
