VA Home Improvements and Structural Alterations (HISA) Grants
Current understanding
The VA’s HISA program provides grants to veterans for medically necessary home modifications, with separate caps for service-connected and non-service-connected disabilities. Current statutory maximums have not been indexed to inflation. Pending legislation (HR2245, Autonomy for Disabled Veterans Act) would raise the caps and add automatic CPI adjustments.
