The way the CCC worked is that a young unmarried man would be sent to live and work on a remote camp under military discipline.
Food & shelter were provided by the CCC and $25/month would be sent home to the young man's family as an alternative to welfare. He would get $5.
I was reading about how the actual Civilian Conservation Corps worked last month and thinking about how absolutely everyone left & right would hate it.
