Heat Seek is a nonprofit (501c3) organization working at the intersection of innovative technology and tenant advocacy. We support housing attorneys, tenant organizers, and city officials working on issues of affordable housing by providing low-cost, web-connected temperature sensors to tenants facing heating abuse and harassment. By analyzing indoor temperature data alongside citywide housing data, we provide new ways for advocates to target and reach at-risk tenants, gather data that demonstrates lack of services, and take action with that data to achieve safe, healthy housing.
