Settlement houses were founded for making houses for people. DAR!
Settlement houses started in industrial cities because cities housed more unskilled workers. These unskilled workers received low wages, and, if a worker was sick or otherwise incapable of doing their job they were fired immediatly. This resulted in wide-spread poverty in cities. Settlement houses helped the poor find food, jobs, and housing.
