Answer 2

B. Settlement Houses

Step-by-step explanation:

The settlement houses were a collection of houses owned by volunteered middle-upper class families to be used as shelters for immigrants. The settlement houses did not only provided a place to live, it also provided the immigrants with education, health clinic, and day care.
