The settlement house movement sought to help immigrant families to adjust to their new surroundings by offering a community space, social events, education, food, and shelter. By 1911, there were six settlement houses operating in Los Angeles, four of them with religious affiliations and two of them secular. Many of the settlement house workers tended to be women from upper or middle class backgrounds.
