Get to Know Neighborhood House

For more than 125 years, Neighborhood House has been a home-away-from-home for families in West Louisville. Founded in 1896 as the first settlement house in Kentucky, Neighborhood House is now a modern community hub for our neighbors, who we call members. With opportunities ranging from the Child Development Center to senior programming, we like to say that we see members “from the twinkle to the wrinkle."
