	Shantytown, Dallas County, Texas
		Shantytown, alias Hoover Heights, alias "The Camp," came into existence in November, 1931, when a number of families, living in the neighboring bottoms of the Trinity River, were forced to move out because of fall rains and high waters.
		Shantytown men were virtually unemployed -- at least, they were unemployed, if the average weekly earning of $3.35 per male adult is taken as a criterion of economic condition.
		One of Shantytown's outstanding characteristics was the prevalent of kinship; in many cases individuals moved in and later sent for other members of their respective families.

		Keeping one's hands clean, for shantytown leaders and ordinary residents alike, means renouncing state resources and surviving, instead, through a constant struggle for largely unavailable odd jobs.
		Residents of shantytowns have a lot of problems: They need to find food for themselves and their children; they need free medication or burial services; they need plastic sheets to build a new shack because a kerosene stove exploded, burning down the shack they worked years to assemble from wood scraps.
		Instead, shantytown residents frequently maximize their own access to state resources by supporting the best-connected broker -- or freely participate in political events out of genuine gratitude for the state resources the broker provides.

	Chimes Online - 'Shantytown' seeks to engage homelessness
		It is difficult to quantify a phenomenon that is always shifting, with individuals falling in and out of ``the system.'' It is an awareness of the hard-to-quantify yet undeniable reality of homelessness that has led members of Calvin's Social Justice Committee (SJC) to spearhead an event to help Calvin students grapple with the issue.
		Shantytown will feature various speakers on the topic, including Calvin Professor of Social Work Lissa Schwander, as well as representatives from local organizations like Heartside Ministries.
		Many high schools and youth groups attempt to sponsor such events, but they often fall prey to an atmosphere that's either ``feel-good'' or patronizing, she said.
