About Us

Hartley House is a nonprofit organization that has stood in Hell’s Kitchen as a hub of support, empowerment, and community development for over 120 years.

Hartley House has a rich history in the progressive and philanthropic movements that transformed New York City by improving the lives of low-income working people. That history informs our programs today, serving our neighbors each year from elementary school to retirement and beyond: our After School program seeks to level the playing field between our systemically disadvantaged neighbors and their more affluent neighbors mere blocks away. Hartley House’s Home Outreach Program for Elders (HOPE) takes a compassionate and individualized approach to support older adults to remain important, independent members of their surrounding community.
