Yes, it was required to provide housing and food for slaves by the slave owners.

Though often it was very rudimentary.

Remember, slaves were very valuable... and often cost would be similar to buying a sports car today. Because of this often slaves were treated well.. because they were a considerable investment.. that if treated good would last a longer time and less likely to run away.
