21st Century

FEMA provided $88 million in funding for the buildings directly in front of the East River and Hallet's Cove to include backup power generators on their rooftops, new doors, and door frames for extra safety inside buildings; this work started in 2016 while the rest are unfunded. ^{[3] [4]}

Its community center project was designed by 22 middle-schoolers from this complex, working with the Salvadori Center. These renovations were completed on October 2024 and are part of the Public Housing Community Fund (PHCF). ^[5]
