... that the Sydney suburb of Hammondville grew out of a settlement founded by Robert Brodribb Hammond to house homeless families during the Great Depression?
Source: "Hammond's most adventurous project aimed to provide a more long-term solution to the problem of the destitute families who had suffered, or were threatened with, eviction from their rented homes...by 1939 110 cottages had been built on a 225 acre settlement which had grown into the suburb of Hammondville."
