Benton House is a neighborhood social service agency, continuing the long heritage of community service. In the tradition of the settlement house movement, our purpose is to enrich the quality of life of both individual residents and the neighborhood as a whole. We exist to promote the stability, economic vitality and cultural growth of the community we serve. We strive to provide an integrated, comprehensive array of individual social services to improve the health, educational, social, recreational, and cultural opportunities for individuals and their families.
