Immediate Impact 

"During the two decades of the existence of the Settlement there has been a significant awakening on matters of social concern, particularly those affecting the protection of children throughout society in general; and a new sense of responsibility among men and women..."

Henry Street Settlement

By 1894, the Henry Street Settlement had visited over 125 families, providing health insurance and social services.
By 1913, the settlement had already expanded into seven different buildings on Henry Street and two Satellite centers. There were 3,000 members in its clubs and classes and 92 nurses making 200,000 visits per year.
