New Deal Programs

Many New Deal programs are still around today. The Federal Housing Administration is a GREAT example! FHA loans are very common, especially with first time home buyers. 

Your task is to find somewhere that I can get an FHA loan in the Kansas City metropolitan area. 

Where can I find one, locally? What do I need to do to get it? How will I go about getting one? How will an FHA Loan benefit me? 

Help me out and comment below!

Watch the video clip above from Crash Course.

The video clip examines numerous programs that were put in place to help ease the peoples' pain during the Great Depression. Although there was some opposition to these programs, namely because of deficit spending, many programs were embraced because they directly helped Americans.
