Where the payment applies
This is the state supplement Social Security lists for Virginia, and Virginia administers it. It is for an approved assisted living facility, adult foster home, or supportive housing. Supportive housing under this grant is a setting for serious mental illness. It is not 24 hour supervision. Someone living at home with family does not get this add-on.
Eligibility includes SSI recipients and certain adults who are 65 or older, blind, or disabled. Confirm a case-specific amount with the local department of social services.
Maximum rates, January 1, 2026
- Most of Virginia: $2,130 a month. The prior maximum was $2,103.
- Planning District 8: $2,450 a month. The prior maximum was $2,418.
- Personal needs allowance: $87. That allowance did not change.
These are maximum rates from the state letter. They are not a payment Inaya can promise.
Supportive housing under this grant is not the same as a loved one living at home. A lease agreement covers that home. If your loved one is homeless and refusing help, see what families can do.
