Adams’ housing boss Jessica Katz set to step down amid migrant and housing crises
last year. At the time, the proposal faced criticism because it didn’t set unit production targets like past administrations had in their housing plans.
Katz told Gothamist she doesn’t know what she’ll do next but that she’s planning to take the summer off. She said she had ticked off much of what she’d wanted to accomplish when she joined the administration nearly 18 months ago and that “now’s the right time” to jump ship. Additionally, according to the report, Katz was incensed by the mayor’s opposition to a City Council bill that wouldthat requires homeless individuals to spend 90 days in city shelters to become eligible for CityFHEPS housing vouchers. That bill, which is set to pass the council on Thursday, is intended to move more homeless New Yorkers out of shelter and into permanent housing to free-up shelter beds.
