The Legal Aid Society has sued Mayor Eric Adams for failing to comply with new housing laws aimed at addressing homelessness in New York City, with the City Council expected to join the lawsuit. The laws in question were passed to expand eligibility for a housing voucher program, but Mayor Adams vetoed the legislation, citing cost concerns. The lawsuit comes amid a homelessness crisis and escalating tensions between the mayor and the City Council over how to manage it.

California takes action against city for rejecting housing plan.

California Governor Gavin Newsom and state Attorney General Rob Bonta are seeking a court order to reprimand the city of Huntington Beach for violating housing laws. The amended motion seeks to suspend Huntington Beach’s permitting authority, while mandating the approval of certain residential projects until the city complies with the law. The city violated the state Housing Element Law by failing to adopt a housing element, which was already 16 months overdue. The officials accused the city of jeopardizing critical affordable housing opportunities for Huntington Beach residents.
