==Reformers ousted; Farmers Home Administration== After the war started and millions of factory jobs in the cities were unfilled, no need for FSA remained.{{citation needed|date=August 2017}} In late 1942, Roosevelt moved the housing programs to the National Housing Agency, and in 1943, Congress greatly reduced FSA's activities. The photographic unit was subsumed by the Office of War Information for one year, then disbanded. Finally in 1946, all the social reformers had left and FSA was replaced by a new agency, the [[Farmers Home Administration]], which had the goal of helping finance farm purchases by tenants—and especially by war veterans—with no personal oversight by experts. It became part of [[Lyndon Johnson]]'s war on poverty in the 1960s, with a greatly expanded budget to facilitate loans to low-income rural families and cooperatives, injecting $4.2 billion into rural America.<ref>Baldwin 403</ref>
