VA Benefits Most Veterans Don't Know About

SAH Grant — Up to $109,986

The Specially Adapted Housing grant is one of the most valuable VA benefits. It provides funding through four distinct plans:

• 1. Build a new adapted home on land you will purchase
• 2. Build a new adapted home on land you already own
• 3. Remodel an existing home with adaptations
• 4. Purchase an already-adapted home

SHA Grant — Companion to SAH

The Special Housing Adaptation grant serves veterans with less severe service-connected disabilities who still need home modifications. It works as a companion program to the SAH grant, providing funding for necessary adaptations like widened doorways, roll-in showers, and accessible kitchen modifications.

HISA Grant — $6,800 / $2,000

The Home Improvements and Structural Alterations grant covers medically necessary home modifications. Veterans enrolled in VA healthcare can receive up to $6,800 for service-connected conditions or $2,000 for non-service-connected conditions. This covers improvements like grab bars, ramps, bathroom modifications, and other structural alterations.

Florida Property Tax Exemption

Veterans rated 100% permanently and totally disabled by the VA are eligible for a total property tax exemption on their homestead in Florida. This can save thousands of dollars every year. Partial exemptions are also available for veterans with lower disability ratings. Keneshia can help you understand your eligibility.

Automobile Grant — Up to $20,114.34

A one-time, lifetime grant to help you purchase a new or used vehicle. This grant can be applied toward the purchase price of an automobile or other conveyance.

Adaptive Equipment Grant — Repeatable

Unlike the one-time auto grant, the adaptive equipment grant can be used repeatedly to modify your vehicle for accessibility. Covered modifications include:

• ✓ Hand controls for gas and brake
• ✓ Wheelchair lifts and ramps
• ✓ Modified steering and seating
• ✓ Power transfer seats
• ✓ Lowered floors and raised roofs
