Master’s Design Build is pleased to have gone through the requirements and review process to be approved as a builder for the Disability Building Grants for Veterans grant program. The service provides grants to Service members and Military Veterans with disabilities to assist with the purchase or construction or modification of a home. This means that if offered a grant, Master's Design Build is an approved builder meeting all requirements to be able to do the home renovations and construction needed. Considering that our Design and Selections Coordinator, Cheryl Martin, is a Certified Living in Place Professional (CLIPP), and also a Certified Aging in Place Specialist (CAPS), and our Owner, Brian Martin, is a Certified Aging In Place Specialist, our company is uniquely qualified to Design and Build Accessible Housing for injured and disabled veterans.
Currently there are two available grants: the Specially Adapted Housing (SAH) grant and the Special Housing Adaptation (SHA) grant. The details for each grant are below.
