California. Emergency Relief Administration
Variant namesFederal Emergency Relief Administration and Civil Works Administration both created early in Great Depression as temporary agencies to disburse federal aid monies through the State Emergency Relief Administrations to county governments for local work relief (1933). Counties submitted projects to SERA, which authorized expenditures, then reimbursed counties after they had paid workers with federal money. Both federal agencies sponsored similar projects and wielded similar authority, but CWA focussed more on larger public works activities. Both agencies were superseded by the Works Progress Administration (1935). More than one hundred projects were launched in San Joaquin County, Calif. These included roadwork, construction of public buildings (notably at County Fairgrounds and Hospital), pest control, sewing, wood gathering, and various kinds of clerical assistance.
