[edit] History
East Side House was founded in 1891 as a settlement house on New York's Upper East Side. In 1963, the organization moved to its current South Bronx location.
It has received multiple grants from the Carnegie Corporation, which has supported more than 550 New York City arts and social service institutions since its inception in 2002, and which was made possible through a donation by New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg.[1]
