Bill > HR4203

This bill, the Housing Temperature Safety Act of 2023, establishes a 3-year pilot program led by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) 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 in compliance with temperature requirements and to collect data on temperature-related complaints and violations. The bill defines key terms like "temperature sensor" and "covered federally assisted rental dwelling unit", and requires the Secretary to publish interim and final reports evaluating the pilot program, including identifying any barriers to the full utility of the temperature sensors. The bill also authorizes appropriations for the grants, administration, and technical assistance related to the pilot program.
