List of settlement houses in Chicago

Settlement houses, which reached their peak popularity in the early 20th century, were marked by a residential approach to social work: the social workers ("residents") would live in the settlement house, and thus be a part of the same communities as the people they served.

By 1911, Chicago's neighborhoods boasted dozens of settlement houses, but in the course of the 20th century most of these closed.

Some, however, remain in operation as social service agencies today, although most no longer follow the residential model.

The scope of this list includes any institution in Chicago that functioned as a settlement house at one time, even if it subsequently ceased to follow the settlements' residential model.
