Community > Community Organisations

In 1964, the Congress of the United States passed the Economic Opportunity Act for the purpose of “eliminating the paradox of poverty in the midst of plenty." The Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO) was given the mission to develop and carry out a national strategy to end poverty by working with and through key public and private institutions at the national, state, and local levels. As a result, Community Action Agencies were being formed across the nation as a local mechanism to address and end poverty in local communities.
