About this program
The Department of Housing and Urban Development Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development funds project-based rental assistance under Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation Single Room Occupancy (CFDA 14.249), with the most recent grant award issued on January 1, 2020.
This program has entered a mature or wind-down phase. The portfolio shows 433 total awards since 1992, but award volume has contracted sharply: 22 awards in 2016, dropping to 2 or fewer annually from 2017 through 2020. No grant awards appear in the portfolio after January 2020, indicating no new funding has been obligated in nearly seven years. The source does not report any open or recently posted grant opportunities.
The program funds project-based rental assistance for affordable single-room occupancy housing. Public housing agencies contract with private owners to rehabilitate existing buildings into SRO units that meet Housing Quality Standards, serving low-income individuals and persons experiencing homelessness. Existing SRO Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) contracts renew annually under 24 CFR Part 402.5(b); the source notes that SRO HAP contracts are eligible to convert to long-term project-based vouchers or project-based rental assistance under the Rental Assistance Demonstration Program.
All 433 awards in the portfolio are structured as Project Grants. Funding is concentrated entirely with HUD's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development, which obligated $874 million across the life of the program. Recent award magnitudes ranged widely: a January 2020 award obligated $3.89 million, while another January 2020 award obligated $466 thousand. A July 2017 award to New York obligated $6.61 million, and a September 2009 award to California obligated $4.89 million. The portfolio includes several negative obligations (contract reductions or closeouts) in 2008–2013 and scattered thereafter.
Financial management systems for governmental recipients must comply with audit requirements under 24 CFR 44. Applications must be submitted by established deadlines on Grants.gov; sites with significant adverse environmental impact are ineligible.

- Description
The Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation Single Room Occupancy (SRO) program provides project-based rental assistance to support affordable housing for low-income individuals, particularly persons experiencing homelessness. Public housing agencies contract with private owners to rehabilitate existing buildings into SRO units that meet Housing Quality Standards. The program expands affordable housing by combining rehabilitation of existing properties with long-term rental assistance.
Eligibility
- Applicant eligibility
An eligible applicant is a PHA or private nonprofit organization. Private nonprofits have to contract with a PHA to administer the rental assistance.
- Beneficiary eligibility
Homeless individuals.
- Uses of assistance
Homeless (single) individuals.
- Length and time phasing of assistance
Under the SRO Program, an 11-year Annual Contribution Contract (ACC) is signed by the PHA with HUD. After the ACC is signed, the PHA and owner sign an AHAP and the owner has 12 months from the date of ACC execution to complete rehabilitation on the project. Once the rehabilitation is completed and the PHA inspects the units to ensure compliance with HUD's physical condition standards (PCS), a 10-year Housing Assistance Payments (HAP) Contract is signed between the PHA and project owner. Upon expiration of initial term owners request renewal.
