The programs of The New Deal programs were to provide relief, recovery, and reform. The programs started in the first 100 days of President Roosevelt's first term, and were to deliver relief to the unemployed, and to those in danger of losing their homes, as well as, deliver recovery to agriculture and business, and reform, in general.
