Housing Temperature Safety Act of 2025

Key Points

• Housing and Urban Development would run a 3-year pilot program that gives grants to install internet-connected temperature sensors in certain federally assisted rental homes.
• Public housing agencies and some federally assisted landlords would need a resident’s written permission before putting a sensor in that unit, and they would monitor the sensor data.
• Participating housing providers would have to track and keep records of temperature-related complaints and violations, using definitions HUD sets.
• HUD would set privacy standards for any personally identifiable information collected during the pilot, and sensor data would be kept until the pilot and evaluation are done.
• HUD would publish an interim report after 12 months and a final report after the pilot ends, comparing results by climate region and sensor technology.
