Life From A Hooverville

Create a story set in a Hooverville (a shanty town built by the homeless during the Great Depression), illustrating people’s struggles, hopes, and endurance.

Set your story in the grim setting of a Hooverville but weave a tapestry of human resilience, survival instincts, and community spirit. This prompt challenges you to generate sympathetic characters that represent the face of poverty, yet depict their tenacity and hope against the backdrop of distress and looming despair.
