VA Housing Benefits

Understanding VA Adaptive Housing Grants

The VA offers several grant programs to help eligible veterans adapt their homes. Here is a plain-language overview — your VA representative will determine which programs you qualify for.

SAH

Specially Adapted Housing Grant

For veterans with certain service-connected disabilities. Helps build, buy, or remodel a home to meet adaptive needs — or apply the benefit toward reducing a mortgage balance on an adapted home.

Typically for:

Severe mobility-related service-connected disabilities

SHA

Special Housing Adaptation Grant

For veterans with specific service-connected disabilities affecting the use of their hands or arms. Helps adapt an existing home or a home being purchased.

Typically for:

Service-connected disabilities affecting hands or arms

TRA

Temporary Residence Adaptation

Allows SAH or SHA eligible veterans to adapt a family member's home where they are temporarily living. Provides a smaller grant amount for temporary modifications.

Typically for:

SAH/SHA-eligible veterans living temporarily with family

Grant amounts and eligibility criteria are set by VA and may change. Visit va.gov or contact your VA representative for current eligibility requirements.

Our Role

What Colleron Builders Does for Veterans

We are the construction side of your VA adaptive housing project. Once your benefit process is underway, we step in to make the build happen — on time, on budget, and done right.

Scope of Work Development

We translate your VA benefit approval into a detailed, buildable construction scope — the document your VA case manager and lender need to move forward.

Budget & Cost Estimates

Accurate, itemized cost estimates that align with your grant amount and project requirements. No guesswork — real numbers from a licensed contractor.

Permitted Construction

We pull permits, manage subcontractors, and build to Florida Building Code. Every modification is done right — inspected and documented.

Build-On-Your-Lot Option

If you're planning a new accessible home on your own land, we can help you design and build an accessibility-focused custom home from the ground up.
