State Court Orders Mayor Adams to Comply with City Council’s Housing Voucher Program

Mayor Eric Adams faced a setback on Thursday as a state court mandated his administration to adhere to the city council’s plan to expand the housing voucher program in New York City. The program, known as City Fighting Homelessness and Eviction Prevention Supplement (CityFHEPS), has been a point of contention between the Adams administration and the council.

The council’s reforms aim to fast-track housing vouchers for New Yorkers facing eviction, eliminate utility bill deductions from vouchers, increase income cutoff levels for eligibility, and remove work requirements. Mayor Adams has expressed concerns about the $17 billion cost over five years and its impact on homelessness.

Adams administration spokesperson Liz Garcia emphasized the need for more housing construction to address the crisis and connect voucher holders to homes. Despite challenges, Garcia highlighted the administration’s efforts in helping New Yorkers find housing.

City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams led the push for CityFHEPS reforms, refuting the administration’s cost estimates. The recent court ruling marks the second legal setback for the Adams administration, following a ruling on the use of emergency powers in banning solitary confinement.

While challenges remain, both the mayor’s office and the city council are committed to addressing housing issues and supporting vulnerable populations in New York City.
