Slum housing is basically what they were given. The mills took advantage of the workers with low wages, long hours, and poor conditions.
it was hard

Mill workers had the worst and most deplorable living conditions. They were forced to live underground for up to 6 months. Most of them died when coming back up to the surface.
They were having a hard time finding workers because there were other jobs available.
They feared vandalism and arson from the workers who were loosing jobs to mechanisation.

Maids/Butlers, Mill workers, and Farm workers.
The workers were miserable. The mill was being mechanized, and men who had been skilled workers - and paid decent wages - were being forced to take unskilled jobs at the mill at lower wages.

Boardinghouses were often provided by mill owners to accommodate the influx of workers who relocated to industrial areas for employment. These establishments ensured a steady supply of labor by offering affordable housing close to the mills, making it convenient for workers to commute. Additionally, by controlling the boardinghouses, mill owners could maintain a degree of oversight over their employees' living conditions and activities, fostering a sense of community and loyalty among the workforce.
