About this organization
Mission
Kingsley House educates children, strengthens families and builds community. Nationally respected as the oldest Settlement House in the South, Kingsley House has served the people of metropolitan New Orleans through times of dramatic change since 1896. Kingsley House has seen our city's most crucial problems move from language and cultural barriers at the turn of the century, to the challenges of integration in the Sixties, to the effects of drugs and violence, poverty and racism, to the recovery and rebuilding following hurricane Katrina in August of 2005.
