The bill would create a three-year pilot program offering grants to public housing agencies and owners of certain federally assisted rental homes to install and test internet-connected temperature sensors. Sensors could be installed only after a resident gives written permission. Participants would monitor sensor data and keep records of temperature-related complaints and violations. The Department of Housing and Urban Development would set privacy standards and report on the pilot, including sensor performance, barriers, and differences among technologies.
If you live in a covered federally assisted rental home, a sensor could be installed only with your written permission if your housing provider joins the pilot. The program would collect temperature readings and related complaint and violation records. The bill includes requirements for protecting personal information.
The bill authorizes amounts as necessary for grants, program administration, and technical help. It does not specify dollar amounts.
