These were named after the President Herbert Hoover because he was widely blamed for the cause of the great Depression. The condition of the houses was very bad.

The houses of the poor people were very small in size like the size of only one small room. They were dilapidated like with no repair because of the condition of neglect towards these houses. These houses were shaky because of the use of material used to make these houses. Cardboard boxes, old tires, new papers etc were used to make these houses. This is the reason they were not strong.
