Military families in Fayetteville and the surrounding communities work hard for their homes. What many veterans and active-duty service members do not realize is that there are federal grant programs specifically designed to help pay for home modifications, repairs, and improvements — including roofing and remodeling projects. At M&D Construction, we have helped dozens of local military families navigate these programs, and we want to make sure more families in Cumberland County know what is available to them.
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs offers several grant programs for veterans with service-connected disabilities who need to modify or adapt their homes. These are not loans — they are grants, meaning they do not need to be repaid. For qualifying families in Fayetteville, Hope Mills, Spring Lake, and Dunn, these funds can make a significant difference in getting critical home improvements done.
The SAH grant is the largest of the three programs and is designed for veterans with severe service-connected disabilities. It can be used to build, buy, or modify a permanent home to meet your disability-related needs. The maximum grant amount is updated annually by the VA. For veterans living in or near Fort Liberty (formerly Fort Bragg), this program has helped fund significant home modifications including accessible bathrooms, widened doorways, and structural updates.
The SHA grant is for veterans whose service-connected disability affects their hands, arms, or respiratory system, making it harder to use a standard home. It is typically used for smaller-scale adaptations than SAH. Many qualifying veterans in Cumberland County use SHA funds for bathroom modifications, kitchen accessibility upgrades, and other targeted remodeling work.
The HISA grant is available to a broader range of veterans and can be used for home improvements that are medically necessary based on a disability — whether service-connected or not. This program covers improvements like accessible bathroom remodels, ramp installation, and other structural changes that improve safety and accessibility at home. HISA is often the grant that helps Fayetteville-area veterans fund bathroom remodels and home modifications when they do not qualify for the larger SAH or SHA programs.
We have been serving the Fayetteville community since 2001, and military families make up a large part of the work we are most proud of. When you work with M&D Construction on a grant-assisted project, we help you through the documentation, scope of work requirements, and coordination that these programs require. Our team handles the project entirely in-house — no subcontractors — which makes the process simpler and the communication clearer from start to finish.
We are also proud to offer a 10% discount for active-duty service members and veterans on all of our services, including roofing, bathroom remodels, kitchen remodels, siding, windows, and more. Whether you are using a VA grant or paying out of pocket, that discount is always on the table.
Depending on the grant and your specific situation, funding may apply to a range of home improvement projects, including:
Roofing work may also qualify in some circumstances when it is tied to structural improvements or when the overall scope of work involves grant-eligible modifications. We are happy to review your project details and help you understand what may apply.
Many veterans and military families in the Fayetteville area assume these programs are too complicated to bother with, or they have heard that the process takes too long. We understand that frustration. Our job is to help you cut through the confusion and figure out what is available for your specific situation. We have worked with enough grant-assisted projects locally to know how the process works and what it takes to get a project across the finish line.
If you are a veteran or active-duty service member in Cumberland County, Hope Mills, Spring Lake, Stedman, Dunn, or the surrounding communities, and you have a home improvement project in mind, give us a call. We will talk through what you need, what grant programs might apply, and how we can help make it happen without the runaround.
