Title: Home Improvements and Structural Alterations (HISA) Benefits Program 
Abstract:

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is establishing regulations for the Home Improvement and Structural Alterations (HISA) Benefits program. Through the HISA benefits program, VA has provided monetary benefits to disabled veterans for necessary home improvements and alterations. An increase in the HISA benefits limit was authorized by the Caregivers and Veterans Omnibus Health Services Act of 2010, Public Law 111-163 (the 2010 Act). The rule would codify regulations to govern the HISA benefits program and incorporate the increase in HISA benefits authorized by the 2010 Act.
