When Carolyn first started here, CAB consisted of a single walk-in office with a staff of two who provided information and referral services. Today we are one of the largest settlement houses in New York, operating programs that help over 30,000 residents annually from 25 sites throughout the Bronx. I cannot imagine such a miraculous transformation without Carolyn’s inspired leadership. Her energy and vision — for what CAB can be, for what the Bronx can be — have made this city a far better place to live and work. CAB continues to play a major role in the revitalization of the Bronx, changing along with it to adapt to its growing needs.
