Hoover did very little. He believed that the economy would "right itself." He told America that "Prosperity is just around the corner." He did not believe that govenment should intervene in the private sector and, as a result, one third of the nation became unemployed.
It stood for the Presidents Organization of Unemployment Relief. Basically, it was set up by President Hoover to combat unemployment in the USA to kick-start growth again.
"Alphabet agencies" were created by Franklin Roosevelt to combat the effects of the Depression. The agencies did not end the Depression. However, they provided useful work to many people and constructed numerous public works, such as libraries and dams, many of which are still in use.
At first President Hoover tried to organize national optimism by summoning business execs to DC to declare that conditions were sound and that there would not be wage cutting. When that did not work (stop the depression), he became inactive for a while, trusting to the idea that it all would self-correct. When that did not work, he organized an international moratorium in war debts and reparations. This actually did help stem the slide further into depression, but only briefly. Then he set up the Reconstruction Finance Corp. to bring federal aid to hard pressed banks and businesses. Just as it seemed that this might work and that recovery was at hand, in the winter of 1932-33 the banking system in America went into a tailspin. On March 4, 1933, the American banking system ground to a complete halt. Hoover was an able and intelligent president who attempted orthodox economic ideas, but became a victim to the collapse of the system.
One major way President Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal sought to combat the effects of the Great Depression was through the establishment of various programs aimed at economic recovery and social relief. Initiatives like the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) and the Works Progress Administration (WPA) created millions of jobs, while the Social Security Act provided financial assistance to the elderly and unemployed. These measures aimed to stimulate the economy, reduce unemployment, and provide a safety net for vulnerable populations, ultimately revitalizing public confidence in the government’s ability to manage the crisis.

President Hoover urged Congress to establish the Reconstruction Finance Corporation (RFC) because he believed that the economy suffered from a lack of liquidity and insufficient credit. He thought that by providing loans to banks, businesses, and other financial institutions, the RFC would stimulate investment and restore confidence in the economy.

Ultimately, he believed that supporting key institutions would help stabilize the economy and promote job creation.
