Safe Temperature Act of 2025
The Safe Temperature Act of 2025 requires owners of federally assisted housing to maintain indoor temperatures between 71°F and 81°F year-round. This applies directly to public housing units under Section 8 of the Housing Act of 1937 and supportive housing for the elderly under Section 202 of the Housing Act of 1959. The bill allows using existing Capital Fund or Operating Fund money to meet this requirement, without needing new appropriations. It mandates specific temperature ranges as a condition for receiving federal housing assistance. The law affects housing owners and operators who manage federally funded properties, not tenants or the general public.
