SOUTH BOSTON NEIGHBORHOOD HOUSE

The South Boston Neighborhood House is the oldest continually operating human service agency in South Boston, and the community's only independent multi-service provider. As an independent and stand-alone agency, South Boston Neighborhood House can be flexible, rapid in our response to community needs and at the forefront of community issues... The South Boston Neighborhood House was founded in 1901 as part of the settlement house movement to support family and neighborhood life in South Boston. We continue to keep this tradition alive in serving the needs of the South Boston neighborhood... The community we serve is ever evolving. A small, densely populated inner-city neighborhood with approximately 33,000 people living in three square miles, South Boston continues to experience the dichotomy of increasing development and property values, gentrification and a rising median income while 1/3 of South Boston's children and families remain living in poverty.
