REA
- created by Roosevelt Administration in 1935
- it's purpose was to bring electricity to rural areas
FSA
- created in 1937 as a subagency of the U.S. Department of Agriculture
- In August 1946 the Farmers Home Administration replaced the FSA.
- was not a relief agency, it provided loans to those who could not obtain credit elsewhere.
