The People for Community Recovery continued to protest to improve the conditions of their community. The group successfully made companies accountable to clean up the pollution they created on the environment. A company that once utilized electrical transformers had to clean up oil the machinery burned. Operators of the Pullman Company railroad cars had to properly dispose sludge waste from former operations. The organization also trained Chicago Housing Authority workers focusing on the Altgeld Gardens' development on environmental lead dust reduction during the apartment's renovation period in 2002. The People for Community Recovery began to see improvements in their environment, although there were still issues that needed to be addressed.
