Veterans and service members with service connected or permanent disability have access to special grants to purchase homes or adapt the existing ones to suit their condition. VA has provided eligibility conditions to be met by applicants for disabled veterans loans. The grants go into purchasing, construction or modification of homes with the aim of making them easier for the veteran to live despite his condition.
The purpose of Specially Adapted Housing grant is to minimize barriers for disabled persons within their living environment. This will offer them the independence they require to enjoy a comfortable life. The money may also be used to construct a house that is specially designed to meet particular needs of persons with disability.
Specially Adapted Housing grants are available for construction on an adapted house on land that is already owned by the veteran. This means that the grant will only cover the cost of construction since the land is already owned by the affected vet. This increases the amount that will be available for construction of the house.
Vets with existing houses that require modification or remodeling are considered for the grant. Considering that the expenses of remodeling and modification are not as high, it leaves the applicant with more money to spend. Exemptions are allowed against the principle balance of an existing loan that was closed without considering disability benefits. This substantially reduces the amount paid over the remaining months.
The Special Housing Adaptation grant targets adaptation to disability conditions or purchase of already modified houses. This category allows family members housing disabled veterans to apply. The money is used to buy the home either with the veteran as the owner or a family member who will be housing him. The owner is allowed to buy a home with existing modifications.
Special Housing Adaptation and Specially Adapted Housing grants are available any veteran with permanent or total service-connected disability. Individuals with permanent living conditions are eligible for both grants. The ownership of the house qualifying for SAH grant must be by the veteran. SHA grants are available to home owners who are family members living with the disabled veteran.
An individual who has lost all or part of normal functions of both legs and arms is eligible. A person blinded on both eyes and has lost one or both legs also qualifies for these grants. The loss of use or total loss of a lower leg that is accompanied by remnants of injuries or organic disease provides sufficient ground for exemption.
The loss of a leg and an arm also makes an individual eligible for SAH grant. Severe burns are considered as well as loss or loss of use of lower extremities that would affect balance and propulsion. The latter is only considered in case a solution cannot be found in wheelchairs, canes, crutches and braces.
Individuals who were affected in the September 11 attack on Twin Towers have been incorporated into the program. The eligible victims must have sustained burns that were so severe that they affected respiratory functions to an irreversible level. Every veteran has a dollar limit on the loan as well as three opportunities to get a grant under the program. That means that the opportunity should be used sparingly.
