COVER: LEE QUINOÑES, 2020 Our cover image, a multimedia construction, was created for Henry Street Settlement by Lee Quinoñes. A pioneer and major influence in the subway graffiti movement of the 1970s, Quinoñes grew up blocks from Henry Street, in the Alfred E. Smith Houses. “I woke up and went to sleep looking at the Brooklyn Bridge,” says the artist, adding that the bridges of Lower Manhattan gifted him the dream that he could travel anywhere. Quinoñes brought his art aboveground, where he moved from giant murals to gallery-scaled canvases. This image was created from electronic circuit boards—a commentary on the psychological and practical effects of technology (and its waste) on our lives and on the planet.

Danny was best known for having created, in 1972, the nation’s first family homeless shelter—Urban Family Center—at Henry Street. His belief that homeless families should be treated with utmost dignity was central to its becoming the gold standard for housing homeless families nationwide. Danny worked at Henry Street for 30 years and was the last executive director to live at the Settlement, first at Urban Family Center where he also raised his own family, and then in the Henry Street headquarters. As director, beginning in 1985, he expanded Henry Street’s annual budget from $7 million to close to $30 million and initiated numerous new programs. Danny gave his life to the Settlement and in turn gave the Settlement so much life. In recognition of his groundbreaking work with homeless families, Danny was selected as one of 53 Americans to attend President Bill Clinton’s “Faces of Hope” inaugural luncheon. He was seated next to the president. In addition to Danny’s own extraordinary tenure, he nurtured the professional growth of Henry Street’s next two successive executive directors, extending his legacy through today.
