Dixon House
Historically settlement houses often provided the glue in a community – serving as a "market place" for social interaction, services and a spring board for social change. Established in 1918 Dixon House continues this tradition.
It is touchstone for the neighborhood -- providing essential services to support vulnerable individuals and families as well as specialized progams to promote family stability. Most importanly Dixon House is always open and accessible to the community for all manner of events and activities -- self help groups, educational forums, informal basketball leagues, job fairs and meeting space for other community organizations.
