It’s a neighborhood, it’s a family. Everyone is connected through New Settlement.

I raised my children in this community and can proudly say I’m seeing my grandchildren being raised here as well.

When I saw my apartment, I said wow! And to know it was permanent was amazing. You feel safe, you know it’s home.

I chose Semiperm because it’s a very friendly environment, the staff are very helpful, and I saw this as a way to be independent, another opportunity to live on my own, yet still be responsible for the everyday things that I need to do.

Settlement Housing has always been an innovator in community development, producing not only quality housing but the benefits to communities that flow from that housing. – Marc Jahr, Forsyth Street
