Description
[75 N.Y.2d 411 Page 414] OPINION OF THE COURT Plaintiffs are recipients of public assistance in the form of Aid to Families with Dependent Children
(ADC) residing in New York City whose shelter costs exceed the maximum allowance payable to them under the Department of Social
Services schedules (see, 18 NYCRR 352.3). Defendants are the State and New York City Commissioners of Social Services, defendants
Perales and Grinker, and plaintiffs' landlords.1 Plaintiffs allege that present levels of shelter allowances are inadequate
to pay their rent, that as a result they are threatened with eviction and are unable to find alternative housing and are thereby
prevented from raising their children in their homes. They allege that defendant Commissioners have a statutory and constitutional
duty to provide "adequate" shelter allowances, that they have failed to fulfill that duty and have established allowances
that are arbitrary and capricious because they no longer bear a reasonable relation to the cost of housing in New York City.
