The answer is:

a. were government-sponsored homes for the poor.

Explanation:

The settlement house movement first began in England. These houses were safe residences in mostly immigrants neighborhoods full with poverty.

They provided a safe place for poor residents to receive medical care and provided nurseries for the children of working mothers. Those who worked there learned about the people, and then figure out ways to improve their situation.
