Editing Hull House (section)

==Since the 1930s==
Addams was head resident until her death in 1935. Hull House continued to serve the community surrounding the Halsted location until it was displaced by the urban branch campus of the University of Illinois in the 1960s. Until 2012, the social service center role was performed throughout the city at various locations under an umbrella organization, the Jane Addams Hull House Association.<ref name="EOCHH" />  The original Hull House building itself is a museum, part of the College of Architecture and the Arts at the [[University of Illinois Chicago]], and is open to the public.

The Jane Addams Hull House Association was one of Chicago's largest nonprofit social welfare organizations. Its mission was to improve social conditions for underserved people and communities by providing creative, innovative programs and by advocating for related public policy reforms. The Association had more than 50 programs at over 40 sites throughout Chicago and served approximately 60,000 individuals, families, and community members every year.<ref>{{cite web |title=Who We Serve |url=http://www.hullhouse.org/aboutus/whoweserve.html |website=Jane Addams Hull House Association |access-date=June 3, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100606044243/http://www.hullhouse.org/aboutus/whoweserve.html |archive-date=2010-06-06 |url-status=usurped}}</ref>

The  Jane Addams Hull-House Museum<ref>{{Cite web |title=Jane Addams Hull-House Museum |url=https://www.hullhousemuseum.org/ |access-date=2024-09-12 |website=Jane Addams Hull-House Museum |language=en-US}}</ref> is part of the College of Architecture and the Arts at the [[University of Illinois Chicago]] and serves as a memorial to Addams and other resident social reformers, whose work influenced the lives of their immigrant neighbors, as well as national and international public policy.  The museum and its programs connect the work of Hull House residents to important contemporary social issues. The Museum's collection includes over 1,100 artifacts related to Hull House history and over 100 oral interviews conducted with people who have shared their stories about Hull House and the surrounding neighborhood.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://hullhousemuseum.org|title=Jane Addams Hull House Museum|access-date=October 22, 2008|publisher=[[University of Illinois Chicago]]}}</ref>

===Hull House Association closure===
Because of its heavy reliance on public support—as much as 85 percent of its revenue came from such sources—Hull House Association had essentially become an arm of government, unlike anything Ms. Addams might recognize today.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=West |first1=Maureen |title=What Would Founder Jane Addams Think of Hull House Demise? |journal=The Chronicle of Philanthropy |date=2 February 2012 |url=https://www.philanthropy.com/article/What-Would-Founder-Jane-Addams/157177}}</ref> When Clarence Wood, then the head of Chicago's Human Relations Commission, took over in 2000, he promised to move toward more private fundraising. But that effort appears to have failed to bring in more than a few million dollars in any given year, accounting for less than 10 percent of the agency's funding in most of the last decade, according to financial statements filed with the IRS and the Illinois attorney general's office.<ref>{{Cite web |last1=Thayer |first1=Kate |last2=Ford |first2=Liam |date=2012-01-21 |title=Reliance on shrinking government funds doomed Hull House |url=https://www.chicagotribune.com/2012/01/21/reliance-on-shrinking-government-funds-doomed-hull-house/ |access-date=2024-09-12 |website=Chicago Tribune |language=en-US}}</ref>
