Content: Finally, reforms analyzed what caused the depression and attempted to prevent such a crisis from recurring in the future. During his presidency, Roosevelt inflicted two New Deals. The First New Deal came in 1933, during the "first hundred days", and the Second New Deal came in 1935. Relief
Social Security act
Ads in support of Social Security
This law was enacted in 1935 and aimed to provide aid and financial security to retirees, the unemployed, people with disabilities, and dependent mothers with children. During the Great Depression 50% of senior citizens lived in poverty, 50% of people were unemployed or underemployed, and 50% of children did not have acceptable shelter, food, or medical care. The Social Security Act aimed to help these people out and provide relief during this crisis. This was perhaps the most significant program of the New Deal, and it is still intact today. Civilian conservation Corps (CCC)

The CCC provided temporary jobs to millions of unemployed Americans in reforestation, road construction, prevention of forest erosion in an attempt to stimulate the economy. The CCC (in affiliation with the Works Progress Administration (WPA)) built more than 650,000 miles of roads in addition to 150,000 schools, airports, hospitals, parks, dams, and other public projects.
