Since 2019, more than 300 individuals who were qualified for apartments in the project have not received any transit rent. Of the 300, 17 were placed in temporary housing and were not receiving transit rent; nonetheless, these homes were likewise in poor shape.

Since 2019, the remaining 230 people have not received any transportation rent and have been left on their own. The court claimed that because of an unending arbitration between the two co- developers, no work is being done at the site.
