Opportunity Information: Apply for VA SAHAT 24 09
The Specially Adapted Housing Assistive Technology (SAHAT) Grant Program is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) through the Loan Guaranty Service (LGY), an office within the Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA). The program is designed to spur research, development, and advancement of assistive technologies that can make it easier for eligible Veterans and Servicemembers who use specially adapted housing benefits to live safely and independently in their homes. In other words, the focus is not on building ramps, widening doorways, or performing other physical home renovations, but on creating or improving technology solutions that support independent living within an adapted home environment.
A key point in this announcement is how VA frames the term "new assistive technology." VA describes it broadly as an advancement that the Secretary determines could aid or enhance a Veteran's or Servicemember's ability to live in an adapted home. This leaves room for a wide range of innovation, including emerging technologies that could improve how home adaptations function or how a resident interacts with their living space. The underlying goal is to encourage practical, forward-looking tools that address day-to-day barriers and improve quality of life for people living with service-connected disabilities who rely on specially adapted housing supports.
The opportunity is categorized under Science and Technology and other Research and Development, reflecting that VA is looking for development-oriented projects rather than direct service delivery or construction activities. The funding instrument is a grant, and the eligible applicant pool is listed as unrestricted, meaning the competition is not limited to a narrow set of organization types in the notice data provided. The program is associated with CFDA (now often referred to as Assistance Listing) number 64.051.
In terms of funding scale and competitiveness, the notice lists an award ceiling of $200,000 and an expectation of around five awards, indicating a relatively small cohort of funded projects and suggesting that proposed work should be focused, well-scoped, and achievable within that budget range. The funding opportunity number is VA SAHAT 24 09, and the original closing date for applications is April 28, 2024, with a creation date of March 28, 2024.
Finally, the announcement includes an important clarification for Veterans and Servicemembers who may be seeking direct help to modify a home for accessibility: SAHAT funds are not intended to pay for the construction or physical modification of residential dwellings. Individuals looking for assistance to adapt a home are directed instead to contact their local VA Regional Benefits Office, Regional Loan Center, or VA Medical Center, or to review information available through VA's adapted housing resources at http://www.benefits.va.gov/homeloans/adaptedhousing.asp.Apply for VA SAHAT 24 09
