The ceremony marked the official debut of 6th Street Place, a new supportive housing complex rising six stories high. The supportive housing complex is constructed with prefabricated modular units, offering 94 units. Ground-floor community space and a 13-car garage were also built as a part of the project.

Work on the exterior of the property is still underway. Plans call for the addition of new artwork, recreating the
“Skid Row City Limit” mural which adorned the building that previously occupied the site. Several artists involved in the upcoming installation were part of the original team led by the late Skid Row community leader General Jeff Page. Additionally, there are plans to include a projected scroll featuring artworks contributed by residents and neighbors of the area.
