Mission: Lenox Hill Neighborhood House, widely recognized as one of New York’s premier nonprofit organizations, is a 123-year-old settlement house that provides an extensive array of effective and integrated human services—social, educational, legal, health, housing, mental health, nutritional and fitness—which significantly improve the lives of thousands of people in need each year, ages 3 to 103, on the East Side of Manhattan.
Programs: Older adult services: the neighborhood house is a preeminent provider of older adult services. Our ultimate goal for our older adult clients is to help them improve their quality of life, retain their independence and strengthen themselves and their community. We provide a broad range of integrated services for more than 7,500 older adult residents of the community each year, the majority of whom live on low-level fixed incomes
children and family services: our children and family services programs serve hundreds of low-income children and their families each year. From their enrollment at age three in our early childhood center, all children receive a quality curriculum designed to excite them about learning and expand their understanding of the world.
homeless and housing: the neighborhood house provides a comprehensive network of programs and services to homeless and formerly homeless men and women to help them gain independence and stability. .
