HR 3703

The Excess Urban Heat Mitigation Act of 2025 aims to combat the dangers of excessive heat in cities by creating a grant program run by the Department of Housing and Urban Development. This program will provide funding to states, cities, and other organizations to implement projects that reduce urban heat, such as planting trees, installing cool pavements, and establishing cooling centers, with a particular focus on underserved communities and areas with lower tree cover. The goal is to mitigate the health and economic impacts of extreme heat and promote environmental justice.
