 The Institute for Children, Poverty, and Homelessness featured a story on the history of settlement houses in their Fall 2011 issue of Uncensored: American Family Experiences with Poverty and Homelessness. 

From the article: "Nancy Wackstein, the head of United Neighborhood Houses, a coalition of New York City settlement houses, invokes this history to characterize the mission of contemporary settlements. 'Being a settlement house means you’re not just a service-delivery organization,' she asserts, 'you’re also a social-change organization.'"
