INTRODUCTION

Are You a Service Disabled Veteran?
Are You Seeking Home Improvements to Meet the Needs of Your Disability?
There’s Good News, the Department of Veteran’s Affairs Has Set Aside Construction Grants Just for You.

These grants are offered for Service Members and Veterans with certain disabilities related to their service. The available grants are for home purchase and or adaptations of existing ones, in order to help accommodate needs stemming from disability.
