Hoovervilles, the makeshift shantytowns that arose during the Great Depression, began to decline as the economy improved in the late 1930s and early 1940s. The New Deal programs implemented by President Franklin D. Roosevelt provided relief and jobs, helping to stabilize the economy and reduce unemployment. Additionally, the onset of World War II created a surge in industrial jobs, further diminishing the need for such encampments. As people found stable housing and employment, the Hoovervilles gradually disappeared.
