The move represents a new phase in the city's legal quest to curtail a decades-old provision for homeless New Yorkers.
We rely on your support to make local news available to allMayor Eric Adams is moving ahead with legal efforts to suspend New York City’s landmark right to shelter rules, as an influx of migrants continues to strain the city’s shelter system.
But rather than exempting newly arrived migrants from the right to shelter as some expected, the newest court filing would apply to all homeless single adults, if granted by a judge. Established in 1981, the so-called Callahan consent decree requires the city to provide shelter to any single man in need of it. Successive lawsuits established the right to shelter for single women and later, families.
The city is now more than a year into a crisis that has overwhelmed city officials and tested New York's commitment to provide safety net services to vulnerable populations. The filing comes just as Adams is expected to leave on a four-day trip to Latin America in which he said he will personally discourage migrants from coming to the city.
