Safe Temperature Act of 2023
The Safe Temperature Act of 2023 requires owners of federally assisted housing to maintain indoor temperatures between 71°F and 81°F in all living units. It directly affects public housing authorities, project-based housing providers, and supportive housing for the elderly receiving federal funding. The bill amends existing housing laws to mandate this temperature standard and allows using capital or operating funds to cover related costs. This creates a concrete requirement for housing owners to ensure comfortable and safe living conditions without specifying enforcement details.
