Rural Resettlement Administration

The Rural Resettlement Administration was a U.S. government agency established in the 1930s to help farmers and rural communities affected by the Great Depression. Its goal was to improve living conditions by providing affordable land, housing, and resources. It also aimed to relocate families from economically distressed areas to more productive and healthier regions, promoting better agricultural practices and community development. Overall, it sought to assist rural Americans in achieving economic stability, better health, and improved quality of life during an urgent period of hardship.
