--Home Owners, USHA--Housing program was to help the poor get jobs. They built apartment type houses for these people and it would put people back on track. This lead into the PDA. Public Works Administration. The government had construction projects and they saved half of them for blacks and this eventually turned these places into ghettos. The FHA mortgages in short term were really bad at that time. Banks needed to get their money back so many homes were foreclosed Banks still lost money from doing this so they eventually shut down. The FHA planned to controll the interest rates since they were really high. they wanted to stimulate the housing market by helping people to afford the down payment on houses and mortgages. This convinced banks to end more and that lead to lend more money. After four years of this people were able to by a house with ten percent down and then they could get a twelve year mortgage. It built home for veterans back from world war two. Some even built apartments for the elderly. It helped not having the houses being foreclosed on.
--Elderly, The Socail Security Act is a tax that is taken out of your income. It covers survivors, old age, and people with disablities. It is still around today. It was pretty successful.
--Native Americans, IRA, Helped many Indians that were living in the slums. We gave up land and set it aside for the indians. It basically got rid of the Daw's Act. We assigned land to indivual tribes. it went form 130 million square acres in 1887 to only 48 million. There were three tribes that didn't this because they didn't trust us. Up til this point it was all about taking away from Native Americans. With this act we were giving back to them. It is still around today. It was successful, but it was too little too late. Many times we would end up assigning tribes with big rivals and that would make them made. They couldn't get control of their government.
