Its main object was the establishment of "settlement houses" in poor urban areas, in which volunteer middle-class "settlement workers" would live, hoping to share knowledge and culture with, and alleviate the poverty of, their low-income neighbours. The "settlement houses" provided services such as daycare, education, and healthcare to improve the lives of the poor in these areas.); 穢 Museum of the City of New York ; American, out of copyright.
