Housing Reforms(1934) and Social Security (1935)

With the New Deal came many new legislation that were seen both to improve and lower the economy from an economic crisis. Two of them that similarly connect an important factor from the New Deal; the Housing Reform and the Social Security Act. These worked together to create on of the most well known helpful act that helped improve conditions in people's lives.

Housing Reforms:  This policy started  the beginning of housing construction. To speed up recovery and better homes for the  people leading to the setting up  of the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) and other sturdy new policies as early as 1934 when the great panic struck. This act was so popular among the people it proved to be one of the few "alphabetical agencies" that was approved and followed even passed Franklin D. Roosevelt's time period. What these reforms lead to a program in which congress authorized the United States Housing Authority (USHA) -- agency designed to lend money loan them to states or other communities around them for low-cost construction. This lead to the starting in creation units of homes for about 650,000 low-income people and home-improvement projects that would better the living conditions. But with this the fell short in need they lacked the building materials needed to construct the new homes. So with the New Deal  there was attempts efforts to  expand to many industries to collaborating on project to help the poor and less fortunate people in building new homes someplace for security and gave them a sense of stability in hard times of panic was hard and the construction was slowed because of all the anti-Dealers who opposes this act but progress was still made. Showed the speeding up in the housing industry. For the first time, this symbolizes the economy beginning to improve and shrinking the size of the slum areas in America.

Social Security:  "The greatest victory was the epochal Social Security Act of 1935 --- one of the most complicated and far-reaching laws ever to pass Congress." To create somewhat of a safeguard for future depressions FDR decided to create this new idea of social security, that provided for federal -state unemployment and general health and relief. The Social Security Act was established for old-age security specifically those who were retired workers that were to be able to receive regular payments from Washington (payment ranged from $10 to $85). Social Security had two types of provisions: "(1) Federal aid to the States to enable them to provide cash pensions to their needy aged, and (2) a system of Federal old-age benefits for retired workers. The first measure was designed to provide immediate assistance to destitute aged individuals. [also to provide help to the handicapped individual who suffered from sickness or physical disabled] The second was a preventive measure intended to reduce the extent of future dependency among the aged and to assure workers that their years of employment entitled them to a life income." These ideas the basic structures of them were adopted from more highly industrialized nations of Europe. Was a relation to the government that they needed to be more involved in helping individual citizens. Social Security act leads to a creation of major programs including ones for child welfare, children health, and later onto making ones for old-age assistance and old-age benefit programs.
