United Neighborhood Houses of New York
Description
This folder contains materials created/collected by the United Neighborhood Houses of New York, a federation of New York City settlement houses. The United Neighborhood Houses of New York, Inc. (UNH) was founded by Mary K. Simkhovitch and John L. Elliott in 1900 as the Association of Neighborhood Workers, a federation of York City settlement houses. The organization worked to disseminate information, promote reform, unify settlement houses, and facilitate coordinated projects. During the 1960s, UNH responded to the federal government's Great Society programs with a new emphasis on seeking funding for member houses or for its own programs. This folder specifically contains materials from the Henry Street Settlement, a UNH member house, including an interview with Black drug counselor Carmello Medina as well as materials on shifting focus to African American and Puerto Rican targeted programming.
