Where it applies
Written for the jurisdictions listed here.
- VirginiaState
Virginia Housing, the state housing authority, administers accessibility grants of up to $10,000. Granting Freedom is the grant it names for disabled veterans and service members. The money does not have to be repaid. Typical work includes ramps, chairlifts, remote entry, bathroom and kitchen changes, and wider doorways and sidewalks.
Applications are not filed directly with Virginia Housing. An accepted local agent takes the application. Agents decide when they can take new files, and an agent can apply its own income limit. The statewide page does not publish one income cap, so confirm that figure with the agent that covers Fairfax County. A renter needs the owner's permission for the work.
This is separate from the federal Specially Adapted Housing, Special Home Adaptation, and Home Improvements and Structural Alterations grants. Those are VA grants with their own disability lists.
