About This Program
The Grant Map catalogs VA HISA Grant, Home Improvements & Structural Alterations in its Houston, TX research directory. Directory placement does not confirm current service coverage or eligibility; verify both with the program administrator.
The VA HISA grant provides funding for home improvements and structural alterations needed for a veteran's medical treatment or to promote independence. Unlike the SAH/SHA grants, HISA can be used for homes owned or rented by the veteran. Veterans with service-connected disabilities qualify for up to $6,800 lifetime; veterans with non-service-connected disabilities qualify for up to $2,000 lifetime.
Service-connected: $6,800 lifetime maximum. Non-service-connected: $2,000 lifetime maximum.
