CAMBA and Legal Aid announced a settlement on Thursday, August 20, 2026, to resolve a dispute involving the removal of tenants from supportive housing at Bedford Gardens, a development in South Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
The agreement was reached between the nonprofit housing services provider CAMBA and the legal aid organization Legal Aid. Both parties said the settlement addresses concerns raised about the eviction of tenants who rely on supportive housing services within the Bedford Gardens complex.
Bedford Gardens, located in the South Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn, has been the focus of recent legal scrutiny after tenants were faced with removal from their units. The settlement aims to clarify the processes governing such evictions and to ensure that the rights of supportive housing residents are respected moving forward.
Under the terms of the agreement, CAMBA and Legal Aid will work together to implement procedures that prevent future disputes over tenant removal. The collaboration is intended to provide a framework for handling eviction matters in a manner consistent with the mission of supportive housing, which offers residents both shelter and access to social services.
Both organizations emphasized their commitment to maintaining stable housing for vulnerable populations. They noted that the settlement reflects a shared responsibility to protect tenants while also addressing any operational challenges faced by the housing provider.
The resolution comes as part of broader efforts within New York City to ensure that supportive housing developments operate in compliance with legal standards and community expectations. Officials and advocates continue to monitor the implementation of the settlement to assess its impact on the stability of supportive housing in the borough.
The settlement was finalized on Thursday evening, and representatives from CAMBA and Legal Aid indicated that they will continue to collaborate on related housing issues in the future.
