Federal Emergency Relief Act

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Federal Emergency Relief Act was one of the first New Deal acts by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt when he convened with the Hundred Days Congress. This act was enacted on May 22, 1933, and its main function was to create the Federal Emergency Relief Administration (FERA). FERA distributed more than 20 million dollars in direct aid to the unemployed. This in turn would help the unemployed find new jobs.
