Commemorating 75 Years of Specially Adapted Housing Grant Program for Veterans

This House Resolution commemorates the 75th anniversary of a program that assists disabled veterans with housing adaptations. Since 1948, the program has supported veterans' independence and quality of life by providing dignified living conditions. It has enabled thousands of veterans to modify their homes to suit their individual needs, significantly improving their daily lives.
Key points
The Specially Adapted Housing (SAH) Grant Program helps disabled veterans build, purchase, or remodel homes to fit their specific needs.
Since its inception in 1948, the program has provided approximately 49,500 grants totaling $1.945 billion, enhancing veterans' independence and quality of life.
Grant amounts have increased from $10,000 in 1948 to over $100,000 today, and eligibility has expanded to cover a broader range of mobility impairments.
Veterans can use SAH and SHA grants multiple times (up to 6 times) as long as total funding does not exceed grant limits, ensuring continuous support.
