Settlement houses and political machines both sought to address urban challenges during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, albeit in different ways. Settlement houses provided social services, education, and community support to immigrant and low-income populations, aiming to improve their living conditions and integrate them into society. In contrast, political machines operated through a network of patronage and political influence, often providing jobs and services in exchange for votes and loyalty.
