Bill > HR6528

This bill, the Housing Temperature Safety Act of 2022, establishes a 3-year pilot program to provide grants to public housing agencies and owners of federally assisted rental housing units to install and test the efficacy of temperature sensors. The goal is to ensure these units remain compliant with temperature requirements. The program will collect data on temperature-related complaints and violations before and after sensor installation, and evaluate the utility of different sensor technologies across climate zones, costs, and features. The bill defines key terms like "temperature sensor" and "covered federally assisted housing," and authorizes appropriations for the grants, program administration, and technical assistance to participating housing providers.
