Answer 2

Shanty towns.

Step-by-step explanation:

Many people were homeless throughout the Great Depression. Sometimes they grouped together in temporary shanty cities where they built small sheds out of anything they could find such as wood scraps, cardboard, tar paper and cartons. These shanty towns were often found near the areas where people could get free meals. The shanty towns were named as "Hoovervilles" after Herbert Hoover, the then President of the United States, whom the people of America blamed for the Great Depression.
