Great, in-depth- very informative thank you very much. It answered so many of my questions, that I was not able to find elsewhere. Both you and Jason were so helpful.
Would this work for a pool?
This was great information thank you 🙏🏽
You are an amazing presenter with this presentation, keep up the good works for Veterans. Much love
Is a cost of any kind involved
Like to know more. Forclosure posibile right now
I am a 100% P&T and unemployable disabled veteran who really needs a miracle. I have illnesses that constantly requires surgeries and procedures. Can I send you a couple of stories? It's no longer safe in my apartment. I want out as soon as possible and not taxing on all involved.
Certain Respiratory co dictions are also a qualifier
Used to take advantage of people
Seven free federal government grants.
So far four required fees
Good information
Leigh, being computer literate is almost an unspoken requirement with the VA and Services today.
Well I had got a call about a $31,000 grant but what I hear about these loan programs they are way out my league I mean they only worry about people who able to deal with your care but also trying to get into my health career by looking forward for most of the pre existing care but in the education part it come with the job but I do not go for the allergy
So is SAH only for specially adaptable modifications to make a better quality of life or would it help toward the mortgage?
Alexander Lee - you may be able to get an SAH grant if you’re using the grant money to buy, build, or change your permanent home (a home you plan to live in for a long time) and you meet the requirements. - Check out the website for full information: www.va.gov/housing-assistance/disability-housing-grants/
@@LeighBrownSpeaker I’ve been told otherwise, like it states on a lot of other RUclips videos that you can only use it to make modifications to your current home. I know I’ve gotten assistance for TRA for use at my moms house. Correct me if I’m wrong, I also hear that us 100% Permanent & Total Disabled Veterans can use SAH up to 3 times in our lifetime.
@@lootninja I want to make sure you get the right information, so I consulted our podcast guest, Chief for Specially Adapted Housing (SAH) at the Department of Veterans Affairs, Jason Latona.
"The primary intent of the SAH grants are to provide adaptations to help eligible Veterans/Servicemembers live more independently. In certain circumstances, grant funds may be applied to a principal mortgage balance if the primary home adaptation needs have been met, or if adaptations were previously paid for directly by the eligible Veteran/Servicemember. Each case is unique and restrictions apply, so it’s important that eligible Veterans/Servicemembers speak with an SAH team member and discuss their specific situation before incurring any expenses."
@@LeighBrownSpeaker thank you very much, this is exactly what I wanted to hear. Much obliged!
@@LeighBrownSpeaker could you please thank him as well for me ❤😊
Ha Ha Ha….we submitted for a grant in December amd come to find out they have NOT EVEN LOOKED AT IT AS OF JULY THE FOLLOWING YEAR! My veteran will be dead by the time we get any answers!😡
Pretty heady comment considering that your state is embroiled in a massive tort suit. Willingly and knowingly poisoning service members, contractors, and families is not a very friendly state. I was stationed there for six out of the ten years and it did untold damage to my family.
good info however DC is anything but beautiful, I live little more than an hour away and wouldn't consider going there because it is run by the far left and way to dangerous
I am 80%(?) p&t, paid at 100% + $432.17 SMC (home bound) I am closing on a VA loan house in a cpl of weeks. I need to install a walk in shower. How can I apply for a sha grant? I hear a lot about the grants but HOW can I get one. My record is in their hands so a decision can be made instantly.
