SRO (Single Room Occupancy)

Single Room Occupancy (SRO) refers to affordable housing units that typically consist of small, individual rooms within a larger building, often shared with communal facilities like bathrooms and kitchens. SROs are designed to provide low-cost accommodation mainly for individuals with limited income, such as students, seniors, or those experiencing temporary financial hardship. They can serve as a stepping stone toward independence or more permanent housing solutions, often found in urban areas facing housing shortages. SROs balance affordability with basic privacy, addressing housing needs for populations facing economic challenges.
