Henry Street is fortunate to be a robust social services agency with so many loyal supporters, but this major loss of private funding from The Art Show couldn’t come at a more challenging moment, with potential funding cuts to social services, education, and the arts. Here’s how you can help. 🧵
The fate of the Henry Street Settlement, a Lower Manhattan social services nonprofit, is up in the air after its biggest source of revenue, the ADAA annual Art Show, canceled this year’s iteration and discontinued its decades-long fundraising partnership.
As ADAA’s Art Show Changes Course, a Nonprofit Is Left in Limbo
The fair was a major source of unrestricted funding for the Henry Street Settlement, a beloved New York social services organization.

Henry Street was proud to join our Lower East Side peer organizations and elected officials today to highlight the critical role SNAP plays in supporting our most vulnerable neighbors and to raise awareness about the devastating impact of the recently approved cuts.
Trump has slashed SNAP benefits for over 300k New Yorkers while driving up grocery prices and gutting funding for food banks — pushing families into food insecurity.
I joined AM Grace Lee in Manhattan’s Chinatown to highlight the devastating impact of these harmful policies on our communities.

Across NYC, orgs like Henry Street are building new approaches to workforce training—focused on who has access to opportunity and on measuring not just what we do, but what works. NYCETC is leading this charge, and as a proud member, we wanted to highlight some new findings. 🧵

Happy Pride from Henry Street Settlement! 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 This month, we’re taking time to reflect on our founder, Lillian Wald (1867–1940), who, in today’s terms, might be described as a queer woman. 🧵

From @cityandstateny.bsky.social: Settlement houses are owed at least $92.4 million by NYC, according to a new @unhny.bsky.social survey. Henry Street and its peer organizations often wait months, even years, to receive the funds we require to run programs such as shelters & educational services. 🧵

Commentary: Pay a living wage to the people who make New York livable
Nonprofits are losing human-services workers because the workers can't afford to work for such low pay. Give them a real cost-of-living adjustment.
