they refused to accept government assistance.
government policies encouraged settlement in these areas.
economic conditions forced them out of their homes and into shacks.

Explanation:

During the 1930s, the Great Depression led to widespread economic hardship. People lost their jobs and homes. Hoovervilles were shantytowns where the unemployed and homeless lived. Economic conditions (not lack of builders, refusal of government aid, or government - encouraged settlement) were the main cause.

Answer:

Economic conditions forced them out of their homes and into shacks.
