Housing Occupancy Certificate—Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act

Any person who owns or controls a facility or real property to be used for housing migrant agricultural workers cannot permit any such worker to occupy the housing unless a copy of a certificate of occupancy from the state, local, or federal agency that conducted the housing safety and health inspection is posted at the site of the facility or real property. The certificate attests that the facility or real property meets applicable safety and health standards. The housing provider must retain original copy of the certificate for three years and make it available for inspection. Form WH-520 is the form used when the Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division inspects and approves such housing.
