While you've mentioned "the following," I don't see any options provided. However, some common responses to the poor living conditions in tenement housing during the late 19th and early 20th centuries included:
-
Housing Reform Movements: Activists and reformers pushed for better living conditions and advocated for laws to improve sanitation, ventilation, and safety in tenements.
-
Settlement Houses: Organizations such as Hull House were established to provide social services, educational opportunities, and community support to immigrant populations living in tenements.
-
Legislative Actions: Some cities passed regulations and building codes to address overcrowding, sanitation, and safety issues in tenement housing.
-
Public Health Initiatives: Public health campaigns were launched to address issues like poor sanitation and disease outbreaks caused by poor living conditions.
If you provide specific options, I can help narrow down the most accurate response.
