Homeless families and individuals in NYC shelters waiting for permanent homes won a victory in court on Thursday that requires landlords to hold their apartments while tenant casework is being processed. The ruling upholds a temporary restraining order barring Mayor Eric Adams and the city's Department of Social Services (DSS) from eliminating the unit hold incentive one-month rent payments to landlords that ensure apartments are held for prospective tenants while their housing paperwork gets processed.

Planned Parenthood expressed gratitude that the court recognized the "harm" caused by defunding efforts while also noting disappointment over the members losing funding, which could disrupt patient care.
