1979
In 1979, SPRC began renovating clusters of multiple family dwellings through the federally funded program Project Based Section 8 and was responsible for the renewal of urban housing stock, of what would have possibly ended up as rubble filled lots.

In 1982, SPRC became the managing agent at completion of construction of over 2000 units of Section 8 Family housing throughout Sunset Park.
As we entered the millennium and reflected on our impact; SPRC has contributed toward the stimulation of economic growth, diverse housing stock and residential accessibility of Sunset Park through the development of affordable housing.
