Please click here to view photos from the WCC’s February 10, 2011 program “Contemporary Settlement Houses – Innovative Models,”  featuring Nancy Wackstein, Director of United Neighborhood Houses of New York (UNH) and Stephan Russo, Executive Director Goddard Riverside Community Center

Scattered throughout the City’s five boroughs, NYC’s Settlement Houses currently serve upwards of a half million New Yorkers. While trying to retain their traditional values, the 39 member houses of UNH seek to become effective advocates for the delivery of innovative social services in their communities. They do this in a world where privatization, governmental restrictions, and fiscal cuts are becoming ever more challenging.
