As of 2017, MBD has successfully constructed and renovated over 2,300 units of housing. It also developed the New Horizons Retail Center, which has created over 200 jobs. Msgr. Smith was transferred to St. Athanasius Church in the mid 1980s. There he co-founded the St. Vincent de Paul Nursing Home in 1992.
