The Emergency Relief Appropriation Act of 1935 was passed on April 8 during the "Second Hundred Days" as a part of Franklin Delano Roosevelt's New Deal. It was a "large-scale public works program for the jobless" which included the Works Progress Administration[1]. It allocated $5 billion for this purpose.
The bill included funds for the Federal Arts Project, the Federal Writer Project, and the Federal Theater Project.
