Housing & Homelessness

Appellate court directs Adams to implement CityFHEPS reforms, administration reviews further legal options

By Shea Vance Posted on July 10, 2025

An appellate court directed Mayor Eric Adams to implement a series of laws expanding access to housing vouchers on Thursday after Adams argued his administration had the authority to cancel reforms passed by the City Council.

Thursday’s ruling overturns a lower court’s determination and is the latest development in a long legal battle over several City Fighting Homelessness and Eviction Prevention Supplement — known as CityFHEPS — reforms and expansions. The ruling pertains specifically to four 2023 laws that the Adams administration had refused to enact, leading the City Council and housing justice advocates across the city to sue for their implementation.
