Boulevard House
The Boulevard House is located in Southwest Detroit, Michigan and situated right on the Boulevard, in the articulation of Mexicantown, Mexican Village, and Hubbard Farms. It is the University of Michigan's settlement house, providing space for praxis among community scholars, community activists and residents. Since it was established in mid-2012, the Boulevard House has been used to create a place-based space to develop projects, engage community and support social change.
==History of the Settlement House Movement==
The Boulevard House reflects the traditions and approach of the settlement house model in U.S. social work. Inspired by England’s Toynbee Hall, the approach was adopted in the United States in the late 1880s and 1890s with such organizations as Stanton Coit’s Neighborhood Guild (New York’s Lower East Side), Lilian Wald's Henry Street Settlement (Manhattan) and Jane Addams' Hull House (Chicago). The term "settlement house" mirrored a belief that community outreach should be done from within a community, and the houses provided a residential and community space for those working on local social issues. Original settlement houses often taught adult education and English language classes, provided schooling for immigrants' children, organized job clubs, offered after-school recreation, initiated public health services, and advocated for improved housing for the poor and working classes. In most modern iterations, settlement houses evolved into community centers and no longer provide residential housing for its workers. United Neighborhood Centers for America is the current settlement house membership organization and estimates there are 150 active settlement houses in the U.S.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.alliance1.org/alliance/unca )〕
