Correction: Under the settlement, NYC will confer with Newark if it moves more than seven families every three months to homes in Newark. The city also agreed to share landlord information, addresses and inspection records with Newark every quarter.
found many families were living in homes without any heat or hot water, and in some cases no certificate of habitability that allows the unit to be lived in. New Jersey municipal leaders said they didn't know about the program until they began getting complaints about housing conditions from their new residents. New York City officials are supposed to inspect the units before a family moves in, but Newark alleged those inspections didn’t always happen.
Gary Lipshutz, Newark's first assistant corporation counsel, said the settlement will bring "significant, positive changes to the SOTA program that will support the needs of both cities’ vulnerable communities.” Sharma said the program is one of the city’s tools to transition families living in shelters to more stable housing. She said SOTA “is critical to ensuring that our clients can make the same choices as every other New Yorker who decides to move and resettle outside of NYC.”
