The Dominican Republic government reported a significant expansion of the Ciudad Juan Bosch housing project, noting that the number of homes grew from approximately 4,600 to 16,800 over a six-year period. Officials stated that the central government settled a debt exceeding RD$4,000 million to stabilize the project, allowing the trust to become self-sustaining and fund infrastructure and social areas. This financial restructuring has coincided with a substantial increase in land value, with prices per square meter rising from approximately RD$1,500 to over RD$10,000.

As the development has grown to include 16,822 completed apartments across 32 residential areas housing over 15,000 families, it has established various facilities including shopping centers, a 7,000-seat amphitheater, sports complexes, and educational centers. Public safety is supported by multiple police stations, a fire station, and 911 services. The community operates under legal norms managed by homeowner associations.

Despite these milestones, residents and community leaders have called for an end to the “politicization” of the project, urging political sectors to rely on verifiable facts. While acknowledging improvements in security and infrastructure, community members continue to highlight significant gaps in essential services. Ongoing challenges include transportation, healthcare, solid waste management, storm drainage, water access, street lighting, and the general maintenance of public spaces.
