New Rules for Housing Grants

Week of January 14, 2008

A change in the law that allows certain seriously injured veterans and servicemembers to receive multiple grants for constructing or modifying homes has resulted in many new grants available from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Now they may use the benefit up to three times, so long as the total grants stay within specified limits outlined in the law. For more information about grants and other adaptive housing programs, contact a local VA regional office at 1-800-827-1000 or local veteran service organization. Additional program information and grant applications (VAF-26-4555) can be found at VA's Specially Adapted Housing Program webpage.
