ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO, Ada Sophia Dennison McKinley (June 26, 1868

– August 25, 1952) planted a viable seed to expand human services resources in Chicago. She founded what was then called the South Side Settlement House in 1919, later renamed in her honor, to assist veterans returning from World War I and African Americans migrating from the south.

ONE HUNDRED YEARS LATER, Ada S. McKinley Community Services is one of the largest human services organizations in the country. The agency is thriving in its mission to empower, educate, and employ people to change lives and strengthen communities with an annual operating budget of $40 million, nearly 600 employees, serving more than 7,000 people annually at over 70 locations. Services are provided 24-hours a day, 365 days a year, primarily in Illinois/Chicago with additional sites in Indiana and Wisconsin. Ada S. McKinley has three primary areas of service: Child Development & Youth; Employment and Community Support; and Behavioral Health & Clinical.
