Grand Street Settlement
The settlement house model came to New York when the city was at critical mass. People needed space for their dreams to grow and a place for their roots to gather. In 1916, Grand St. Settlement opened its doors, creating a community that would transcend place and time. What began as neighbors helping neighbors became a family. For 100 years, they have connected New Yorkers to opportunities that inspire, services that keep families strong, and programs that bring communities closer. Together, they have led bold charges for change, worked to overcome obstacles like isolation and exclusion, and fought to dismantle injustices and broken systems.
