The Single Room Occupancy (SRO) program provides rental assistance for homeless persons in connection with the moderate rehabilitation of SRO dwellings. The Winchester Housing Authority's SRO program contains eleven (11) units that are occupied by one (1) person in each unit and are located at the Northwest Connecticut YMCA, in Winsted.

The rental assistance payment covers the difference between a portion of the tenant's income (normally 30%) and the unit's rent; which must be within the fair market rent (FMR) that is established by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the Winchester Housing Authority's Rental Assistance Alliance.
