New York City is challenging a unique legal agreement that requires it to provide emergency housing to anyone who asks for it.
FILE - New York City Mayor Eric Adams listens as Gov. Kathy Hochul delivers her State of the State address at the state Capitol, Jan. 10, 2023, in Albany, N.Y. In a filing late Tuesday, Oct. 3, New York City challenged a unique legal agreement that requires it to provide emergency housing to anyone who asks for it, as the city's shelter system strains under a large influx of international migrants who have arrived over the past year.
The shelter requirement has been in place for more than four decades in New York City, following a legal agreement struck in 1981 that required the city to provide temporary housing for every homeless person. No other big city in America has such a requirement.
