(NYC) Mayor Adams' admin 'aggressively' pursuing new strategy to scrap right-to-shelter

[brooklynite]

NEW YORK — Mayor Eric Adams’ administration is “aggressively” pursuing a new legal strategy for rolling back the city’s right-to-shelter mandate — and wants city lawmakers to ramp up public pressure on Gov. Kathy Hochul for not doing more to alleviate the worsening local migrant crisis, the Daily News has learned.

Top aides to Adams divulged the new details about City Hall’s migrant response in a private Thursday afternoon virtual briefing with members of the City Council and the state Legislature.

Lisa Zornberg, Adams’ newly-appointed chief counsel, touched on the new front in the administration’s bid to scrap the city’s right-to-shelter rule after Republican lawmakers on the call pointed out that the mayor’s original request to do so appears to have stalled in court.

“We are exploring aggressively other legal strategies to bring a semblance of common sense and relief back to this space,” Zornberg told the politicians. “So I hear you, and I’m on the job less than two weeks, and I can tell you this is my top priority.”
