The California State Relief Administration (SRA) was a government agency responsible for administering unemployment relief and distributing state and federal funds to improve conditions in California during the Great Depression. It was established in 1935 as the successor to the State Emergency Relief Administration (SERA), established in 1933. The SRA was effectively abolished in 1941 when the State Legislature refused to grant it further appropriations at the state level.
