          <text>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Autonomy for Disabled Veterans Act&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This bill increases the maximum amount authorized under the Home Improvements and Structural Alterations (HISA) grant program to $10,000 for veterans with a service-connected disability and $5,000 for those with disabilities that are not service-connected. The HISA grant program provides medically necessary improvements and structural alterations to a veteran's (or service member's) primary residence for specified purposes (e.g., allowing for entrance to their home).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The bill requires the Department of Veterans Affairs to increase the maximum dollar amount of the grant in accordance with inflation as determined by the Consumer Price Index.&lt;/p&gt;</text>
