Visit the Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs Website: https://www2.illinois.gov/veterans/Pages/default.aspx
Specially Adapted Housing Grant (SAH)
Veterans or service members who have specific service-connected disabilities may be entitled to a grant from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for the purpose of constructing an adapted home or modifying an existing home to meet their adaptive needs. The goal of the Specially Adapted Housing (SAH) Grant Program is to provide a barrier-free living environment that affords the veterans or service members a level of independent living he or she may not normally enjoy. The SAH grant is generally used to create a wheelchair accessible home and the grant is currently limited to $60,000.
The Specially Adapted Housing Grant is available to veterans or service members who are entitled to compensation for permanent and total service-connected disability due to:
- The loss, or loss of use, of both lower extremities such as to preclude locomotion without the aid of braces, crutches, canes, or a wheelchair.
- Blindness in both eyes having only light perception, plus loss or loss of use of one lower extremity.
- The loss, or loss of use, of one lower extremity together with
- residuals of organic disease or injury, or
- the loss or loss of use of one upper extremity.
- Item (1) and Item (2) above must so affect the functions of balance or propulsion as to preclude locomotion without the aid of braces, crutches, canes, or a wheelchair.
- The loss, or loss of use, of both upper extremities, so as to preclude the use of the arms at or above the elbows.
- The permanent and total disability is due to a severe burn injury (as so determined).
You can apply for the SAH and SHA grants by completing VA Form 26-4555, Veterans Application in Acquiring Specially Adapted Housing or Special Home Adaptation Grant, and submitting it to your local VA regional office.
Special Home Adaptation Grant (SHA)
Veterans who have specific service-connected disabilities may be entitled to a grant for the purpose of modifying an existing home to meet their adaptive needs. The Special Home Adaptations (SHA) grant is generally used to assist veterans with mobility throughout their homes. This grant is currently limited to $12,000.
The SHA grant is available to veterans who have a service-connected disability due to military service, entitling them to compensation for permanent and total disability due to:
- Blindness in both eyes with 5/200 visual acuity or less or
- The anatomical loss or loss of use of both hands or extremities below the elbow
You can apply for the SAH and SHA grants by completing VA Form 26-4555, Veterans Application in Acquiring Specially Adapted Housing or Special Home Adaptation Grant, and submitting it to your local VA regional office.
Home Improvement and Structural Alternations Grant (HISA)
Under the Home Improvements and Structural Alterations (HISA) program, veterans with service-connected disabilities or veterans with nonservice-connected disabilities may receive assistance for any home improvement necessary for the continuation of treatment or for disability access to the home and essential lavatory and sanitary facilities.
A HISA grant is available to veterans who have received a medical determination indicating that improvements and structural alterations are necessary or appropriate for the effective and economical treatment of his/her disability. A veteran may receive both a HISA grant and either a Special Home Adaptation (SHA) grant or a Specially Adapted Housing (SAH) grant. To apply for a HISA Grant, complete VA Form 10-0103 Veterans Application at www.prosthetics.va.gov/psas/HISA2.asp.

Loans / Tax Relief Programs
E-Z Access Loan Program
This program offered by the Amalgamated Bank of Chicago targets two specific groups, including individuals with disabilities and businesses that are seeking to comply with requirements of the ADA. The Bank has funds to make loans available at reduced rates. Important features include their willingness to lend as little as $500 over a 12 month period (60 months for larger purchases). Their credit terms are relaxed, i.e., items not often included as income are for this program (social security benefits, disability checks, etc.). For more information, visit www.aboc.com.
Federal Housing Administration (FHA)
Two loan guarantee programs from the Federal Housing Administration, Title 1 and 203K loans have loan size limits. The FHA programs can provide direct loans with below-market interest rates (to 1%), higher than normal debt ratio (to 1%), extended terms (to 33 years), low down payments or financed closing costs. These loans can be used for acquisition or rehabilitation. The 203K program will also loan up to 80% of the repaired value of the home, making it useful for a household that chooses to move and make accessibility improvements in the new home. For details, call (312) 866-2729.
Income Tax Deductions
Many people can take advantage of income tax deductions under the federal tax code. To do so, the cost of the modifications must be treated as a medical deduction and be itemized and shown as an expense on federal tax form 1040 “Schedule A”. In order for home modifications or equipment to be treated as a tax deduction, they must be certified by a physician as being required for health reasons. For a renter, the cost of accessibility modifications becomes a deduction from taxable income. Homeowners can also deduct modifications cost from income but need to account for any increase in the value of the home. A written opinion from a competent real estate appraiser specifying how much and why the home’s value has increased is necessary and an experienced accountant should be contacted.
Plans for Achieving Self-Support (PASS)
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) allows participants to set aside income for accessibility projects. Without jeopardizing benefits, it is an SSI provision to help individuals with disabilities return to work. For more information, please visit their website.
Ready Access Program / Opportunity Illinois Program
The Treasurer’s Office and financial institutions work together to assist individuals with disabilities by providing capital to the borrower at a lower rate of interest. The Treasurer’s Office deposits state funds with participating financial institutions which then make low-interest Ready Access loans. The funds earn interest for taxpayers and are fully protected against loss.
Available through participating financial institutions. The maximum amount is $50,000. Available for up to 5 years at a fixed rate of interest that is below market rate. The Ready Access Program does not provide for medical services, pharmaceuticals, psychological services, therapy and/or therapeutic devices.
Illinois financial institutions wishing to participate in the Illinois Treasurer’s Ready Access Program should also contact the Treasurer’s Office. Illinoisans with disabilities use the Opportunity Illinois interest rate reduction to finance construction projects or purchase equipment that will help them achieve greater mobility and self-sufficiency.
For more information, please visit illinoistreasurer.gov.
Reverse Mortgage and Home Equity Loans
These alternative methods can be utilized to finance home modifications. A financial advisor can help determine which method is feasible. For more information, contact your financial advisor for advice.
Home Equity Loan
A home equity loan is a loan that is guaranteed by your home. They can have either fixed or adjustable interest rates. The interest paid is usually tax -deductible.
