VA Temporary Residence Adaptation (TRA) Grant

About This Program

TRA helps veterans who qualify for SAH or SHA grants adapt a family member's home where they are temporarily living. SAH-eligible veterans may receive up to $50,961 (FY 2026); SHA-eligible veterans may receive up to $9,100. Unlike SAH/SHA, TRA funds are used in a home the veteran doesn't own. Modifications must be approved as medically necessary for the veteran's disability-related needs.

TRA does not reduce SAH/SHA lifetime maximum; counted separately. Useful when veteran is living temporarily with family while awaiting permanent adapted housing.
