The.............................in England and the United States during late 19th century helped the poor learn skills required for urban living.
Settement Houses
The Settlement House movement began with Toynbee Hall, founded in London in 1884 by Canon Samuel Barnett, and spread to the United States through Hull House, Chicago, started by Jane Addams and Ellen Gates Starr in 1889.
Educated volunteers 'settled' in poor urban neighbourhoods and ran classes, clubs, day care and civic programmes that helped immigrants and the poor learn the skills needed for city living; this laid the foundation of group work and community organisation.
Poor Houses (workhouses) were institutions of the Poor Laws offering bare relief, Beggar Homes are custodial institutions, and Half-way Homes are transitional residences for people leaving institutions, so none of these taught urban living skills.
Hence, the answer is Settlement Houses.
