[2] By the late 1980s, the housing units at Uniacke Square were reported to be in good structural condition but in need of interior renewal.
In addition to renewal of the housing interiors, some areas of exterior car parking were replaced with green spaces.
There were four such agencies in the Gottingen Street area when Uniacke Square opened; today there are 20, including Adsum House for homeless and abused women and their families, Turning Point for homeless men and Hope Cottage, which provides meals to those who need them.
However, uncontrolled gentrification of the North End has changed the area's demographics considerably.
[5][4][6] Uniacke Square supports a satellite police station, a parent resource centre, a small church and an office of the Salvation Army.
