Section 67:56:01:03 - Requirements for shelter services

Shelter services may be provided in a structure owned or operated by the program; in public accommodations paid for by the program, such as hotels and motels; or in private homes supervised by the program. A program using a hotel or motel facility or a private home as a shelter must have an agreement with the facility that provides for the safety and confidentiality of clients. Additionally, a program using a private home as a shelter must ensure:

(1) No individual living in the household has had a conviction for a crime that would indicate harmful behavior towards children, a crime of violence as defined by SDCL 22-1-2, a sex crime pursuant to SDCL chapters 22-22 or 22-24 A or SDCL 22-22A-3, or within the preceding five years, a conviction for any other felony; and

(2) The program has submitted proof of liability insurance covering the home.

Each program shall establish a policy defining eligibility standards and shall provide services to eligible individuals in all available settings within the program's service area. A program may not impose income standards or mandate participation in a program service as a condition of eligibility.
