Historical BackgroundReturn to Top
The Washington Emergency Relief Administration (WERA) was created in 1933 as Washington State's response to the Great Depression. The relief program was administered by the Emergency Relief Commission under the direction of the Governor, Clarence Daniel Martin and the appointed director of WERA, Charles F. Ernst. WERA was replaced by the Department of Public Welfare in 1935.
On November 9, 1933, the Civil Works Administration (CWA) was created by executive order of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. It was intended as a temporary federal program which would help stave off severe deprivation for the following winter. Within weeks, Harry Hopkins, the energetic head of the Federal Emergency Relief Administration (FERA), had employed a million and a half people in CWA projects. By January 1934, over 4 million workers were employed by the CWA and under the administration of WERA. Civil Works Administration employees worked specifically on short-term construction projects that could be completed fairly quickly and included the building and improvement of roads, schools, playgrounds, sewers, and hospitals around the country. The Civil Works Service (CWS) was also established and provided non-construction based jobs including sewing centers, nursing positions and education, mapping and surveying projects.
Content DescriptionReturn to Top
