During the Great Depression, many people became homeless, hungry, and poor. In 1933, a new president, Franklin D. Roosevelt, was elected. He told America that he had a plan, called the New Deal, to get through the Great Depression. The New Deal placed regulations, or rules, on banks, the stock market, and businesses. It created jobs for people. The New Deal tried to help feed and house the poor. The New Deal created a variety of programs, laws, and government agencies to solve some of the issues facing Americans.
