The council will be asked to reconsider a relocation of mental health services after fears were raised over the impact on vulnerable people.
A support hub at Stocks Hill in Armley is set to move to Horsforth under plans to save the council £500,000 this year.
Centres at Lovell Park and Vales Circles in Beeston would also move as the number of sites offering the Day Opportunities service is cut from six to three.
Users of Stocks Hill protested outside Leeds Civic Hall last month, saying they would they would have too far to travel for support groups and well-being activities.
But council leaders decided to press ahead with the shake-up.
Now a challenge from Green Party councillors will see the future of the service debated at a scrutiny board meeting on Tuesday (May 13).
Their formal request for a “call-in” of the decision, led by Armley councillor Lou Cunningham, said Stocks Hill had the most attendees of all the centres and the majority lived nearby.
It said: “We would like to explore the rationalisation of all of the buildings, with a specific focus on Stocks Hill.
“The simple and overwhelming message which has been a thread throughout is that this service has not only been a lifeline for these people but has literally saved lives.”
The council said attendance had declined at the hubs and they only opened two or three days a week.
The Armley service would move to Calverlands Complex Needs Centre in Horsforth.
The Lovell Park hub would move to Wykebeck Complex Needs Centre and Vales Circles would join Laurel Bank Complex Needs Centre in Middleton.
The Lovell Park and Vales Circles buildings could then be sold off. Stocks Hill will be retained by the council.
The council’s Adults, Health and Active Lifestyles scrutiny board will meet at Leeds Civic Hall on Tuesday (May 13).
