Abstract: VA Form 26-1852 is completed by builders in Specially
Adapted Housing (SAH) projects involving construction as authorized
under Title 38, U.S.C., section 2101(a), section 2101(b), and the

construct homes to be purchased by veterans using their VA home loan

staff review the data furnished on the form for completeness and it is
essential to determine the acceptability of the construction materials

and certify they meet or exceed general residential construction
material requirements, as specified by the International Residential
Code and residential building codes adopted by local building
authorities, and are in substantial conformity with VA Minimum Property
requirements.
Affected Public: Private Sector.
Estimated Annual Burden: 1,122 hours.
Estimated Average Burden per Respondent: 30 minutes.
Frequency of Response: One-time.
Estimated Number of Respondents: SAH usage--2,194 per year; Native
American Direct Loan usage--50 per year = total predicted usage of
2,244 per year.
