Mamdani Administration Defies Campaign Promise, Appeals Rental Assistance Expansion Ruling
The Mamdani administration is facing backlash for appealing a court ruling that expanded the CityFHEPS rental assistance program, despite promising to drop the lawsuit during his campaign. The citys Law Department filed to take the case to New Yorks highest court, arguing that the city council lacked the power to make those changes. Housing advocates are outraged, calling the move a betrayal, as the proposed changes would scrap the 90-day shelter stay requirement, drop work rules, raise income eligibility, and open the program to those at risk of eviction. City officials maintain they are focused on stable housing and a balanced budget, with some advocates open to a short-term settlement to get vouchers out quickly.
