Grants
The VA offers grants to help service members and veterans disabled during their military service. Three types of grants are available. The goal of all three grant programs is to provide a barrier-free living environment that offers a level of independent living for disabled service members and vets. Yearly adjustments to grants may be made based on construction costs.
For information on these grants go to
