San Fernando Federal Subsistence Homesteads, California, 1936: Forty Homes, Each with Nearly an Acre of Ground, Average Income Eight Hundred Dollars Yearly This evocative photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in 1936, captures the resilient spirit of the San Fernando Federal Subsistence Homesteads in California during the Great Depression. With forty homes occupying the frame, each one boasts nearly an acre of land, providing a glimmer of hope amidst the economic despair of the time. During the 1930s, the United States was grappling with the Great Depression, leaving countless families struggling to make ends meet. In an effort to alleviate some of the suffering, the Farm Security Administration (FSA) was established to provide financial assistance and support to rural communities. The FSA's Resettlement Administration, under the direction of Roy Stryker, commissioned photographers like Dorothea Lange to document the living conditions of those affected by the economic downturn. Lange's image of the San Fernando Federal Subsistence Homesteads offers a poignant glimpse into the lives of these families. The homes, arranged in neat rows, stand as testament to the determination of their occupants to build a better future. The average income for these families was a modest eight hundred dollars yearly, yet the land they had been granted offered the potential for self-sufficiency and a chance to reclaim their dignity. This photograph, now part of the Library of Congress's collections, is a poignant reminder of the struggles faced by Americans during the Great Depression and the government's efforts to provide aid and support. Dorothea Lange's powerful image continues to resonate with audiences today, serving as a testament to the human spirit and the enduring power of photography to capture and preserve history.
