In a motion set to be filed Wednesday in state court, the legislative body asks to join a recently-filed lawsuit against Mayor Eric Adams' administration, seeking to compel implementation of several laws passed over mayoral veto.
At the heart of the current dispute is the City Family Homelessness and Eviction Prevention Supplement (CityFHEPS) program, which allows tenants to pay up to 30 percent of their income on rent while the city covers the rest, up to a fixed maximum.
In 2006, New York's highest court sided with then Mayor Michael Bloomberg in his refusal to implement a bill extending health benefits to domestic partners, saying it violated state and federal law.
