AI Summary
This bill aims to improve the Specially Adapted Housing (SAH) program of the Department of Veterans Affairs. It does this by: (1) prioritizing assistance for "seriously ill veterans," with the Secretary of Veterans Affairs required to define this term within 90 days; (2) increasing the number of SAH grants a veteran can receive from 3 to 6; (3) increasing the maximum amounts of assistance for adapting a veteran's residence and acquiring housing with special features; and (4) providing an additional amount of assistance, up to half the maximum, for certain eligible veterans who have not received SAH assistance in over 10 years and whose homes lack necessary adaptations.
