NYC Mayor Adams Sued for Housing Law Noncompliance
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.
