Single-room occupancy

Single-room occupancy (SRO) is a type of housing where people live in one small room all by themselves. It's like having your own little house all in one room!

In an SRO, each person usually has a bed, a desk, and a little bit of space for storing their things. There may be a shared bathroom and kitchen that people use together, kind of like a big household.

SROs are often used by people who have very little money and can't afford to live in a bigger apartment or house. Sometimes people who are homeless or have mental health issues live in SROs as a way to have a roof over their heads and a place to sleep.

Overall, SROs are a way for people to have their own personal space and live independently, even if they can only afford a small room.
