--Reformers mobilize.
As the problems in cities increased, Americans tried to to find solutions. Social welfare reformers put alot of effort into releiveing urban poverty. THE SETTLEMENT HOUSE MOVEMENT. The Social Gospel movement was preached salvation through service to the poor. After the movement had started alot of people had responded to the call to help the urban poor. During the late 1800's some reformers started the settlement houses. The settlement houses were like communtity centers, but for slum neighborhoods. The settlement houses were founded by Charles Stover and Stanton Coit in New York City in 1886. Jane Adams was one that was really important, and had a huge effect on the movement. Ellen Gates Starr founded chicago's Hull House in 1889.
