April 8: Emergency Relief Appropriation Act
FDR initiated this act as a way to get jobless Americans back to work, employing them in large-scale public works, arts, media, and drama programs. Nearly $5 billion was authorized to create jobs for over 4 million people. April 8: Works Progress Administration (WPA)
Out of the Emergency Relief Appropriation Act came the Works Progress Administration (WPA). This was the largest of all New Deal agencies and mostly employed people to perform unskilled work, constructing public buildings, roads, airfields, hospitals, and more. The WPA also created Federal Project Number One, which was the name for a number of projects that employed Americans in the categories of Art, Music, Theater, Writing, and Historical Records. Any American was allowed to participate, regardless of race, color, religion, or political affiliation. May 1: Resettlement Administration (RA)
FDR established the Resettlement Administration (RA) for the purpose of relocating and resettling poor urban and rural families who had been displaced, implementing soil conservation programs, and providing low-interest loans.
