During Roosevelt's New Deal, women and African Americans faced exclusion from several programs. Firstly, the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) mostly hired young white men, leaving women and African Americans out of employment opportunities. Secondly, the Social Security Act did not extend to domestic and agricultural workers, therefore excluding many African Americans who worked in these industries. Lastly, the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) implemented discriminatory policies, making it difficult for African Americans to obtain housing loans, further perpetuating segregation.
