In the Great Depression, in the US, direct relief might be a "soup kitchen" created by any organization, such as the Salvation Army. By providing food to needy people, this food relief met the immediate and direct relief those unable to feed themselves.Other forms of "relief" can be interpreted as "long term relief" programs created by the Federal government to relieve the burden of unemployed workers. The FERA act of 1933 created a program that gave funds to local authorities to address the problems associated with unemployment. This type of program not only provided funds after appropriate forms were filled out and approved, but also gave working employees some confidence that future unemployment would not mean total destitution.
