Hoovervilles By: Benny Rothfuss

Basic Layout Small housing Some had vegetable gardens Houses with little furniture for an entire family Usually built near a water source such as a river Houses were unsanitary and plain Hoovervilles were marked as health risks because of how bad they were

Backround Homeless people were a common sight before The Great Depression Homeless people began to cluster in certain areas with soup kitchens Some of the people had building skills so they would make there house out of stone or wood Many blamed President Hoover for this problem giving it the name “Hoovervilles”

The struggle Hoovervilles were poorly maintained Many things were dubbed with Hoovers name Newspapers used as blankets were called “Hoover blankets” Inside-out pockets were “Hoover flags” Cardboard used to repair things like shoes would be given the name “Hoover leather”

The comeback Hoovervilles were soon seen as unfit They were demolished in the 1940’s When the New Deal was passed many lives had changed The economy got back on its feet and started to seem better Hoovervilles were officially torn down
