Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation Single Room Occupancy is run by Department of Housing and Urban Development. From fiscal 2021 to 2025 it awarded $317 million in 254 grants, about $1.2 million per award.

## Objectives

The Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation Single Room Occupancy Program provides rental assistance to homeless individuals. Under the program, HUD entered into Annual Contributions Contracts (ACCs) with public housing agencies (PHAs) in connection with the moderate rehabilitation of residential properties that, when rehabilitation is completed, will contain multiple single room dwelling units. Funding for new projects ceased after 2011. Expiring contracts are now renewed.
