Resource area 03
Getting around, driving safely, and living independently in a home that actually works for your body shouldn't be a fight you take on alone. Below are real programs — from the VA and from established nonprofits — that help pay for a modified vehicle, adapt a home for a wheelchair or walker, or simply get you a ride to your next VA appointment.
Between VA grants, nonprofit programs, and your own doctor's paperwork, getting the equipment or ride you need can turn into a second job. That's where we come in.
We're a connector, not a provider. One confidential conversation — we listen, then we connect you to the right person for what you need. No forms to decode, no runaround.
Public resources you can use today
These are publicly available resources anyone can use — Veterans Resource Alliance is not affiliated with any of them. If you'd rather not sort through it all yourself, reach out and we'll do it with you.
If a service-connected injury affects your hands, feet, or vision, the VA can put money toward a specially equipped vehicle, or pay for equipment like hand controls so you can drive or ride safely.
If your doctor says you need changes to your home — a ramp, a roll-in shower, wider doorways — this VA grant can help pay for it, whether you own or rent.
If a serious service-connected disability means you need a home built or changed to work for a wheelchair or other mobility needs, the VA can help you build, buy, or modify that home.
DAV runs a nationwide fleet of vans, driven by volunteers, that give veterans free rides to and from VA medical appointments when they don't have another way to get there.
The Manchester VA runs free DAV van rides and shuttles for New Hampshire veterans heading to VA medical appointments, with stops including White River Junction, Manchester, Jamaica Plain, and West Roxbury.
A veteran service organization that helps veterans with spinal cord injury or disease (and now MS) get the VA benefits they've earned, plus support for caregivers and adaptive recreation.
If getting around, staying safe at home, or getting to your next appointment feels harder than it should, reach out — we'll help you find the program that fits. Free and confidential.
