Kansas Governor Harry Woodring created the Kansas Federal Relief Committee in July of 1932 to obtain and administer federal emergency loans made available to states through Herbert Hoover’s Emergency Relief and Construction Act of 1932. President Franklin Roosevelt expanded on this act with the Federal Emergency Relief Administration (FERA) in 1933, leading the Kansas committee to change its name to the Kansas Emergency Relief Committee (KERC). Under the direction of Kansas’s new governor, Alf Landon, the KERC managed direct and work relief programs in Kansas including emergency education, transient relief, rural rehabilitation, drought relief, and a slew of public works projects including the construction of farm ponds and lakes, and the renovation and construction of public buildings, roads, and quarries. A movie made by the KERC in 1936 to highlight its accomplishments is now available on Kansas Memory as the Kansas Emergency Relief Committee accomplishments movie.
