When the Great Depression broke out, the American federal government had programs in place to deal with homelessness and joblessness.

No.

Explanation:

As the exercise introduces, when the Great Depression broke out, the American federal government had no programs in place to deal with homelessness and joblessness. This was due to the totally colapsing economy of the country; the economy shrank 50% and began doing so in August of 1929. When this started there was no help from the government, there was no money and, therefore, no initiative to put programs in place to deal with the lack of jobs and homelessness.
