United South End Settlements
The mission of United South End Settlements (USES) is to build a strong community by improving the education, health, safety and economic security of low-income individuals and families in Boston's historic South End/Lower Roxbury and to serve as a national model of successful neighborhood engagement. Underscoring our mission is the principle that healthy communities are ones in which there are opportunities to engage all residents. It is only through such inclusivity that a community creates "social capital" - the relationships, trust, and networks that lay the foundation for problem solving and, ultimately, a common vitality that sustains all community members.
