A New York City program coerces homeless residents to move to out-of-state apartments that are frequently dilapidated and uninhabitable, officials in Newark alleged in a lawsuit filed Monday.

The complaint, which names the city of New York, Mayor Bill de Blasio and Social Services Commissioner Steven Banks as defendants, accuses the city’s Special One-Time Assistance program, or SOTA, of violating commerce laws by pushing recipients into Newark apartments that are not suitable for living and sometimes illegal. The suit comes amid a national battle to mitigate a national homeless crisis that has left many of the country’s urban areas desperate for answers.

Under SOTA, New York City offers to pay landlords one year of rent upfront to accept tenants in apartments within the city’s five boroughs and beyond. Individuals and families are required to have been living in a shelter for at least 90 days to be eligible, and according to the city, more than 5,000 households have secured permanent housing through the program. Thirty-five percent of those families moved to apartments within New York City since the program began in 2017.
