This bill proposes the addition of a new section, 9-5-34, to the Code of West Virginia, 1931, which establishes requirements for entities that contract with the state to distribute funds for homeless shelters. Specifically, it mandates that these entities must have a board of directors that includes one representative from each region of West Virginia.

The intent of this legislation is to ensure that the distribution of funds for homeless shelters is managed by a diverse group that reflects the various regions of the state, thereby promoting equitable representation and decision-making in addressing homelessness.
