They built shantytowns because many of them were foreclosed and had no where to live. But because there were so many of them they banded together and formed makeshift communities called "Hoovervilles", after the president at the time, Herbert C. Hoover. People blamed Hoover for the depression because they believed he did not act quickly enough to stop it, or provide any real relief for the poor. People stood in bread lines because many of them were out of work and could not afford food. Bread lines provided the poor and homeless with food so they would not starve, much as homeless shelters do today. Hawks.
