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

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.

Explanation:

for starters, there is the structural trend of rising primary government expenditure as a share of gdp, which reached 36% in 2014, up from 22% in 1991. this increase reflected a political desire to address the poverty and inequality that had gone unaddressed during previous decades. to support the increase, brazil’s government increased taxes on consumption and promoted progress toward labor-market formalization. nonetheless, public investment, particularly in infrastructure, took a hit. in fact, with the exception of the 2005-2008 period, total investment as a share of gdp has remained below 20% since 1991.
