What program was established to give relief to the states during the great depression?

The Federal Emergency Relief Administration (FERA) was established in 1933 to provide direct relief to states during the Great Depression. It aimed to alleviate the suffering of the unemployed and their families by providing them with financial assistance and job opportunities. FERA funded state and local relief efforts, helping to stabilize economies and support those in need. This program was a key component of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal initiatives.
