The SAH Grant provides funds for Veterans to remodel their homes for accessibility.
By United States law, if you are a disabled veteran or service member, you could be eligible to receive money to remodel your home from the SAH Grant.
If you have one of certain service-connected disabilities, you could get help modifying your home so you can create a barrier-free environment and increase your independence.
Safe Living Solutions has been serving our honored veterans for decades and helping them create more accessible homes in the High Point area. As professional accessibility contractors, we are focused on providing handicap accessible remodeling to veterans and non-veterans, alike in our community.
If you are a Veteran or Service Member (or know of one) who:
- Is in need of an accessible home;
- Would like to learn more about the SAH Grant, and;
- Would like to use those funds to remodel your house.

Grant dollar amount
The SAH Grant service members and veterans is set by law and consistently adjusted on a yearly basis. That means that the maximum amount any eligible person can get will vary from year to year.
As of 2017, the maximum lifetime benefit amount is $77,307.00. Again, you should keep in mind that no one can use the benefit to get more than the maximum amount allowed.
It also should be noted that eligible persons who are temporarily living in a home owned by a member of their family, that person may still receive a benefit, but the maximum amount allowed is $33,937.00.
