Section 14VAC10-10-110 - Privately owned housing assistance

A. The Virginia Birth-Related Neurological Injury Compensation Program (Program) Board of Directors statutory authority concerns awards for the medical needs of the admitted claimants it serves. However, if an admitted claimant has medically necessary housing needs that can be addressed in the nonrental home currently owned and occupied by the admitted claimant's family or guardian, the board will provide one-time funding for medically necessary modification to, or construction of, an accessible bedroom and bathroom if such modification or construction is feasible and reasonable. This modification or construction must be within the Program's allowable standards for cost, space, and other factors before funding for an accessible bedroom and bathroom will be authorized. The Program's construction manager or other qualified professional will determine the feasibility of these modifications or construction and whether the admitted claimant's needs will be met in the contemplated project.

B. The maximum lifetime housing benefit per admitted claimant for any one or combination of housing benefits (rental or construction) is up to $175,000.
