City Council moves to join Legal Aid’s suit against Adams admin over its refusal to enact housing voucher laws

By Ethan Stark-Miller Posted on February 21, 2024

The City Council is moving to join the Legal Aid Society’s recently filed class action lawsuit against Mayor Eric Adams’ administration over its refusal to enact a series of laws expanding access to housing vouchers.

The council filed a motion to intervene in the Legal Aid suit — Vincent, Tejeda, Cronneit, and Acks v. Adams and the City of New York — in New York County Supreme Court on Feb. 21. If the motion is granted, the legislative body will join the existing lawsuit from Legal Aid, which the group filed last week, as a petitioner.
