Tenement Life Journalist and photographer Jacob Riis exposed the horrible conditions in New York tenements in his book How the Other Half Lives. Shortages of affordable housing forced families to squeeze into tiny tenement apartments. Many people were forced to live in small spaces. Few or no windows to let in fresh air and sunshine Indoor plumbing scarce Diseases like cholera (bacteria spread in contaminated water,- could kill you in hours if not treated) tuberculosis, and influenza spread quickly in these crowded neighborhoods.

Main Idea 2: People worked to improve the quality of life in the U. S Main Idea 2: People worked to improve the quality of life in the U.S. cities. Many private organizations stepped in to help the poor. Reformer Lawrence Veiller led an effort to improve tenement conditions through the Charity Organization Society. Helped to get the 1901 New York State Tenement House Act passed Some individuals set up settlement houses, or neighborhood centers in poor areas that offered education, recreation, and social activities.

Settlement Houses One of the most famous settlement houses was Hull House Founded in Chicago in 1889 by reformers Jane Addams and Ellen Gates Starr Florence Kelley, a reformer at Hull House, visited sweatshops and wrote about the problems there. Convinced lawmakers to take action and in 1893, Illinois passed a law to limit working hours for women and to prevent child-labor Became Illinois’s chief factory inspector and helped to enforce the law Settlement houses continued to provide programs and services through the 1900s.
