Housing Assistance Programs

VA - Handbook for Design: A Guide for Specially Adapted Housing and Special Housing Adaptation Projects

This pamphlet provides assistance to Veterans and Servicemembers eligible for the Specially Adapted Housing (SAH), Special Housing Adaptation (SHA), and Temporary Residence Adaptation (TRA) grants administered by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). In addition to providing important program information to Veterans and Servicemembers, this pamphlet will serve as a resource for VA’s business partners, such as architects, designers, builders, and VA compliance inspectors, who play a critical role in delivering this benefit. VA hopes that the information presented in this pamphlet will increase sensitivity to the needs of our Veterans and Servicemembers, facilitate awareness of the program requirements, and help expedite the grant approval process.

Check this website for a comprehensive guide provided by the VA for programs available to veterans for special housing needs and accommodations.
