Settlement houses
Jane Addams (:
One of the main goals of settlement houses like Hull House in Chicago was to improve the living conditions and social welfare of the urban poor. They aimed to provide various services and programs that addressed the needs of the community, such as education, healthcare, childcare, and vocational training. Additionally, settlement houses aimed to foster social integration and promote understanding and cooperation between different ethnic and social groups.
The idea of settlement houses was pioneered by social reformers like Jane Addams and Ellen Gates Starr in the late 19th century, particularly with the establishment of Hull House in Chicago in 1889. These institutions aimed to provide support and resources for women and immigrant communities, offering education, vocational training, and social services to help them achieve their goals and improve their living conditions. The settlement house movement played a significant role in advocating for social change and women's rights during this period.
