Federal Emergency Relief Administration


 

Federal Emergency Relief Administration (FERA) was the committee established as a result of Federal Emergency Relief Act. The Federal Emergency Relief Act was one of the first relief operations under the New Deal by president Franklin Delano Roosevelt. The chairman of FERA was handed over to Harry L. Hopkins, a New York a social worker who was one of Roosevelt's most influential advisers. FERA's main goal was alleviating adult unemployment. In order to achieve this goal, the FERA provided state assistance for the unemployed and their families. About 500 million dollars were granted to the states. Although costly, this administration provided work for over 20 million people and developed facilities on public lands across the country that we still enjoy today.
