West Virginia Homeless Shelter Oversight & Safety Act establishes uniform safety, health, and operational standards for homeless shelters.

The West Virginia Homeless Shelter Oversight & Safety Act aims to ensure homeless shelters meet consistent safety, health, and operational standards. It mandates that every resident has the right to a safe, clean, and humane environment, freedom from discrimination, harassment, or abuse, and access to grievance procedures without retaliation. The Bureau for Public Health will propose rules for legislative approval to implement cleaning and sanitation standards, staffing ratios, infection control protocols, resident rights, and incident reporting requirements.
