| "One
Stop Shop", started by the Virginia Mid-Atlantic Chapter of the Paralyzed
Veterans Association, was developed to make all veterans as independent
as possible by remodeling their present living space, or finding them
a government grant to have a home built to their specific needs. Specially
adapted grants can, and will, drastically reduce the cost of building
a home. The medical staff of their local Department of Veterans Affairs
will also schedule a home visit to determine what medical equipment,
if any, the VA can supply them with materials needed in home
free of cost to all eligible veterans. Provide a free consultation
for all eligible veterans who are interested in participating in this
program. DVCH has partnered with R.L. Seely Homes, LLC. They
have been approved by the Veterans Affairs Special Adapted Housing
Section, and they know all the proper building requirements that will
be needed for a disabled veteran to have the home built to his/her
specifications. |

Provide permanent housing and ongoing case management treatment services
for homeless veterans who would not be able to live independently
without the support of case management. HUD's Section 8 Voucher program
has designated over 10,000 vouchers to Public Housing Authorities
(PHAs) throughout the country for veterans who are homeless. These
vouchers are portable so that veterans can live in communities served
by their VA medical facility where case management services can be
provided. |

living that he or she may not have otherwise enjoyed. The grant
is generally used to create a wheelchair accessible home. This grant
is currently limited to $50,000.
Special Home Adaptation (SHA) Grant - Veterans
who have specific service-connected disabilities may be entitled
to a grant for the purpose of modifying an existing home to meet

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 SHA or SAH grant. VA
