Did the government during the great depression build public housing for homeless unemployed workers and their families?

During the Great Depression, the U.S. government did initiate programs to address the housing crisis faced by unemployed workers and their families. The Federal Emergency Relief Administration (FERA) and the Public Works Administration (PWA) were among the agencies that provided funding for public housing projects. However, while some temporary housing was constructed, the focus was primarily on job creation and economic recovery rather than extensive public housing development. Overall, efforts were made, but they were limited in scope compared to the scale of the need.
