Henry Street Settlement

New York City Region
Details

Founded in 1893 by social work and nursing pioneer Lillian Wald, Henry Street Settlement’s mission is to open doors of opportunity to enrich lives and enhance human progress for Lower East Side residents and other New Yorkers through social service, arts, and health care programs. From funding the first public school nurse in the nation (1902) to opening the first apartment-style shelter for homeless families (1972), Henry Street is an organization of firsts. Of Henry Street’s 18 sites across the Lower East Side, visitors are welcome to our exhibition, The House on Henry Street, located in our historic headquarters at 265 Henry Street, as well as performances and visual arts exhibitions at the Abrons Arts Center, located at 466 Grand Street.
