Answer 1

Answer:

The Great Depression caused many people to lose their money and their jobs. In cities from New York to California many people who had lost their homes went to live on Hoovervilles, which were shantytowns created for those who had been deprived of their houses.

Explanation:

A Hooverville was the popular name for slums built by homeless people during the Great Depression. They were named after then President Herbert Hoover, because according to them he didn't do nothing to stop the depression.  

Homeless people did exist before the Great Depression, but the economic recession had increased their numbers and made them more concentrated around soup kitchens owned by charities. These settlements were often formed on empty terrains and consisted of makeshift huts and tents. The authorities did not officially recognize these Hoovervilles and sometimes the occupants were removed because they were formally on private property without permission, but often they were tolerated out of necessity.
