Granting Freedom — Up to $10,000 to Adapt Your Home, and Renters Qualify
Virginia Housing grants UP TO $10,000 for accessibility modifications — widening doorways, ramps, grab bars and other changes recommended by the VA — to a veteran or service member who sustained a LINE-OF-DUTY INJURY resulting in a service-connected disability. RENTERS QUALIFY AS WELL AS HOMEOWNERS, which very little housing support in this corpus does. Applications go through ACCEPTED AGENTS rather than direct to Virginia Housing, so the first step is finding one.
