Title IV of the Economic Opportunity Act

Title IV of the Economic Opportunity Act provided funding to support community-based programs aimed at reducing poverty and improving education, employment, and health services for disadvantaged populations. It emphasized local empowerment by giving community organizations resources to develop tailored solutions rather than relying solely on top-down government initiatives. The goal was to foster the growth of community action agencies that could address specific local needs, promoting self-sufficiency and social mobility among low-income individuals and neighborhoods.
