Administrative history
The Hawaii Rural Rehabilitation Corporation, Limited, incorporated on November 16, 1934 [JR 12, SLH1935] as an instrumentality of the FERA, began functioning in 1935 with an initial federal grant of $35,000 to foster a program of relief and rural rehabilitation for farmers, ranchers, and other agricultural groups.
On July 1, 1935 the Federal Emergency Relief Administration was superseded by the Resettlement Administration and, consequently, the Hawaii Rural Rehabilitation Corporation operated under this new agency. On February 29, 1936 the HRRC ceased its relief activities after operating for approximately 15 months. On May 1, 1939 the remaining funds of the corporation were transferred to the Governor’s Special Contingent fund (HJR 31, SLH 1939).
