Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the living standards of rural communities within the United States during the Great Depression. Its primary focus is on seven resettlement projects initiated by the Division of Subsistence Homesteads and other government entities as part of a broader strategy to address rural poverty. The author identifies three groups within these communities based on their length of residency: those who had lived on the resettlement projects for at least a year at the time of the study, those who had lived there for less than a year, and those who lived in neighboring areas serving as a comparison group. Using data collected through detailed surveys, the author compares the value of family living and housing facilities among these three groups. The book's insights are significant in assessing the impact of government resettlement programs on the living standards of rural families during the Great Depression and provide valuable insights for understanding the challenges and opportunities faced by such communities during times of economic crisis.
