Lenox Hill Neighborhood House, widely recognized as one of New Yorks premier nonprofit organizations, is a 130-year-old settlement house that provides an extensive array of effective and integrated human services—social, educational, health, housing, mental health, arts, 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.

Lenox Hill Neighborhood House is a multi-service community-based organization. Founded in 1894 as a free kindergarten for the children of indigent immigrants and as one of the first settlement houses in the nation, Lenox Hill Neighborhood House is the oldest and largest provider of social, legal and educational services on Manhattans Upper East Side. They operate out of five East Side sites located between 54th Street and 102nd Street, with their headquarters located on East 70th Street, offer programs at dozens of East Side locations and deliver services to thousands of homebound clients in their own homes. Clients range in age from 3 to 103, represent dozens of races, ethnicities and countries of origin and include indigent families and the working-poor who live in the East Side's housing projects and tenements or who travel to the Upper East Side to work in low-wage jobs such as cashiers, housekeepers, nannies and laborers; 12,600 seniors; and hundreds of mentally ill homeless and formerly homeless adults.
