Our Programs

With state-of-the-art recreational and educational facilities, and plenty of flexible space (all available to rent), University Settlement at the Houston Street Center is a unique community resource for longtime residents and recent arrivals.

From swimming and fitness programs to a dynamic after-school program to free social events to the variety of diverse courses offered and even an art gallery, the 44,000-square-foot Center provides services for community members of all ages.

The Houston Street Center also has high-quality, low-cost meeting rooms, conference rooms, and training and recreational space available for one-time, short-term or long-term rental. All rental proceeds help underwrite the cost of University Settlement's programs for the individuals and families of the Lower East Side, Chinatown, Little Italy and Loisaida.
