The planned redevelopment of the 44-year-old 60-unit Dove Court housing complex at First Avenue and Dove Street is being held up as pilot for what could happen at Gilpin Court in the coming years:

What happens at Dove Court early next year also is likely to influence the future of Gilpin Court, the city’s oldest and largest public-housing complex. The housing authority and city are working on a study to eventually redevelop Gilpin as part of a broader plan for Jackson Ward, especially the part of the neighborhood that lies north of Interstate 95. [...] The 60 units of public housing that will disappear with Dove Court will return as part of a 260-unit, mixed-income community that won’t concentrate the poorest residents in one place. Not all of the 783 housing units in Gilpin will be replaced in the community that takes its place, Hill-Christian said. “Some units of public housing will have to go to another place.”
