The leases in the present case did not lack a legitimate purpose. The subject premises were leased to, and by, both CAMBA and We Always for the "legally cognizable reason" of providing transitional housing in accordance with the terms of the Cluster Transitional Residence Program run by the City (Matter of Badem Bldgs. v Abrams, 70 NY2d at 53). The leases entered into by CAMBA and We Always both specified that the agreement was entered into "for the sole purpose of providing transitional housing and services in connection with the DHS Agreement," and the leases expired by their terms upon termination of the DHS Agreement (if not terminated earlier). Under the leases, CAMBA and We Always leased unspecified units in particular buildings, the number of which would increase or decease depending upon the extent of the needs of DHS to provide transitional housing for homeless families and individuals.
