NYC Public Advocate's Statement On The CityFHEPS Housing Voucher Expansion Ruling

August 1st, 2024

Press Release

"This harmful ruling will only deepen the longstanding housing and homelessness crisis in our city. The CityFHEPS voucher program has been vital to helping people most in need find and stay in their homes, and the City Council's expansion of the service was invaluable as rents continue to rise. I support their decision to pursue an appeal.

"The Adams administration’s cold, callous refusal to implement yet another law approved twice by the Council, their choice to take this case to court instead of helping people access homes, will leave many New Yorkers without options. This mayor professes to care about affordability, but has once again failed to prioritize the needs of the city over his personal politics."
