Resettlement Administration

The Resettlement Administration was a U.S. government program established in the 1930s to assist rural families affected by the Great Depression. Its goal was to improve living conditions by relocating people to better-developed communities with access to services like healthcare, education, and employment opportunities. It also promoted land conservation and agricultural development. Through this initiative, families received housing, land, and support to build more stable and productive lives. The program aimed to reduce poverty and rural hardship, contributing to broader efforts to modernize rural America during that era.
