How much is the SAH grant in 2026?

The FY2026 maximum SAH grant is $126,526; the SHA maximum is $25,350. Amounts are indexed each October 1.

What is the difference between SAH and SHA?

SAH is for the most severe mobility losses (both legs, blindness plus leg loss, severe burns) and can fund building or buying an adapted home. SHA is a smaller grant for losses such as both hands or severe respiratory injury, used mainly for modifications.

Can I use the grant more than once?

Yes. Both SAH and SHA can be used up to six times, as long as the total stays within the lifetime maximum in effect.

Do I need a 100% rating to qualify?

No. Eligibility is based on specific service-connected conditions, not a percentage rating, though most eligible veterans are rated at high levels.

What is the HISA grant?

HISA is a VA health-care benefit paying up to $6,800 (service-connected) or $2,000 (non-service-connected) for medically necessary home improvements such as ramps and roll-in showers, applied for through your VA medical center.
