Bill overview
The Safe Temperature Act of 2021 aims to ensure residents of public housing, supportive housing for seniors, and those receiving housing choice vouchers have a comfortable and safe living environment by requiring temperature levels between 71 and 81 degrees Fahrenheit. This legislation modifies existing housing laws to give the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) the authority to enforce these temperature standards. It allows HUD to use existing funds to maintain these temperatures in assisted housing units. The bill seeks to address concerns about extreme temperatures impacting the health and well-being of vulnerable populations.
