Descripci�n

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. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.

Sinopsis

Excerpt from Standards of Living of the Residents of Seven Rural Resettlement Communities: October 1938

It has long been recognized that the problem of changing a family's level of living cannot be considered exclusively from the standpoint of the individual family. The level of living of any family as a production and consumption or social - participating unit is definitely a function of the relationship of that family to the other individuals and other fami lies in the community. Consequently, it has frequently been maintained that the community should be the smallest unit to be considered in any effort to alter living conditions. Occasionally Governments or private individuals have attempted to create better communities. It cannot be said that all such plans have had exactly the same objective, but certain ly all of them have had as their final goal a more abundant life. Although no two conceptions of the abundant life may concur, there has been agree ment of Opinion that the proposed programs should contribute to a higher level of living, both material and non-material.

During the last 4 years the Federal Government of the United States has tried its hand at building new communities. Many important considerations led the Government to undertake this new and extremely difficult venture. The most far - reaching depression in history had brought uncertainty and poverty to millions. The laissez - faire system of settlement and exploitation of natural resources had left in its wake a toll of exhausted and eroded agricultural lands, depleted forests, and stranded families and villages. There was too much raw material and large inventories of stored manufactured goods on the one hand, and, on the other hand, people were practically starving and freezing. In short, society seemed to be decidedly out of joint.

Few realistic thinkers believed that resettlement of the families on new or already plowed lands would bring Utopia. It was maintained, however, that much could be accomplished if man were brought into a better relationship with land. Tillage of certain lands should be discontinued and other lands brought into different usage. Families living on relief money should be given an opportunity to earn at least part of their living through work. The high rate of tenancy which the era of exploitation hadencouraged was proclaimed undesirable. It should be attacked. When possible a farmer or part - time farmer should work a farm that he could call his own. Ownership, it was maintained, made for stability because it gave the owner status in the community and contributed toward a more abundant life. To these and other ends resettlement projects were initiated by the Division of Subsistence Homesteads and by the Resettle ment and Federal Emergency Relief Administrations, to be completed and carried on by the Works Progress and the Farm Security Administrations.
