Samson, this question has been asked a few times recently.
You can read these posts - they address various aspects of getting funding for installation of a stairlift. (They also include your post).
Are you in need of one to get into the house, or to get from a first floor of the house to the second floor?
I see from your profile that your father is a veteran.
There's also a variety of links here; some may be of help:
https://www.disability.gov/can-get-help-finding-paying-assistive-technology/
http://explore.va.gov/home-loans-and-housing.
See "Adapted Homes for Disabled Veterans".
You can also google "VA funding for stair lifts".
