The correct answer is:

Settlement houses.

The settlement movement was a reformist social campaign that started in the 1880s and climaxed around the 1920s in the US. Settlement houses were reformation institutions in crowded immigrant areas of industrial cities, where settlement workers contributed assistance for neighbors and attempted to alleviate poverty.
