Single Room Occupancy (SRO)
Program Overview
An extended service of the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program
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.
To apply, or for more information, on the Single Room Occupancy (SRO) program:

Note: The Single Room Occupancy Program and the Housing Choice Voucher Program are different applications. To ensure you receive the application you'd like,
