This bill proposes a supplementary appropriation of $1,000,000 from the Governor's Office Civil Contingent Fund to the Governor's Office Office of Resiliency, specifically for deposit into the West Virginia Disaster Recovery Trust Fund. The bill aims to enhance long-term disaster recovery efforts in West Virginia by establishing a new section in the West Virginia Code (29-31-7a) that outlines the framework for disaster case management grants. These grants will be awarded competitively to organizations that demonstrate a physical presence and operational capacity in West Virginia, and they must coordinate with local Long-Term Recovery Organizations.

The new section details the purpose and definition of disaster case management, which includes structured support for disaster-impacted households, such as needs assessments and assistance with recovery plans. It mandates that grantees report quarterly on their activities and maintain records for accountability. The bill also specifies that funds can only be used for direct disaster case management services and not for unrelated activities. Overall, the legislation seeks to improve the effectiveness of disaster recovery efforts in the state by ensuring that organizations providing these services meet specific criteria and collaborate with local recovery entities.
