And in the rear it completely came down. Is there a place that will repair or replace the material?

That’s not a difficult DIY project. 3M adhesive spray
But look for auto upholstery places if you want to have it done.

I called it the Buick canopy in my ‘80 Regal.

There is kind of a foam backer...just use thumb tacks. Get colored ones and you can spell words with them...It is fun and really cool.

Do not use adhesive spray. Won't work, even the "extra strength" stuff that says it is for car headliners.
As other poster suggested, if a foam backing just use tacks.
If you don't like tacky, there is a place in Metairie (Cajun Customs?) that will replace it, price depends on sunroof..

Wow I haven’t seen this in about 20 years

As mentioned, this is an easy DIY. Just order the felt lining, take out the headliner mold, scrape off any old foam backing, spray on a good adhesive, trim and then put back in place.
If you have it done, you'll pay $600-700 unless you "know a guy." A careful DIY will give you the same results at a fraction of the cost. Plenty of "how to" videos on YouTube to follow.

Don't do it yourself, it will look like you did it yourself. I used that spray just to give me time and it was a mess.
I assume you're not in NOLA, so I would find a good vehicle upholsterer near you.

Just tear it out and paint it black.

This happened to my old Dakota several years ago. Don't bother with the adhesive spray. It's garbage and you're going to have to keep applying it like once a week.
There was a place on Airline in/near Gonzales that I took it to and they replaced it for me for like $150 all in. Color matched the original perfectly and it looked like it did when the truck was brand new.

What year is your Accord?

Plenty of how to videos on You Tube if you want to DIY. Not that bad a job.

Thumb tacks will take care of it
