New Deal programs

Roosevelt's recovery initiatives

New Deal programs refers to the sweeping set of federal initiatives launched during Franklin D.

Roosevelt's presidency in the 1930s to address the Great Depression.

These programs—including the Civilian Conservation Corps, Social Security Administration, and Works Progress Administration—aimed to provide relief for the unemployed, stimulate economic recovery, and reform the financial system.

The term now serves as shorthand for large-scale government intervention in the economy during times of crisis.

The infrastructure we still use today was built by New Deal programs.
