Adaptation Cost
Costs vary associated with adaptations or modifications to address the spectrum of obstacles the disabled Veterans face in their own homes.
Adapt A Vet utilizes a “non-antiseptic” universal design technique and personalized adaptation plans that provides the Veterans a level of independent living he or she may not normally enjoy.
Costs may be covered by, VA Grants, Corporate Sponsors, Community Partners, and Individual Donors.
