What was a hope of people who worked in settlement houses?

Answer:they hopes immigrants would blend into the American culture

The hope for people who worked in settlement houses was to live in the settlement houses, share knowledge and culture, and alleviate poverty for their low-income neighbours. Previously these people worked in factories thus becoming a poor working class where they lived in poorly maintained tenement buildings. It is so because they did not have money, could not afford to receive education, and lacked time to go to school as they had to work to pay for necessities.
