Defunct agency responsible for administering most of the War on Poverty programs
The Office of Economic Opportunity was the agency responsible for administering most of the War on Poverty programs created as part of United States President Lyndon B. Johnson's Great Society legislative agenda. It was established in 1964 as an independent agency and renamed the Community Services Administration in 1975.
The Richard Nixon administration made an unsuccessful effort to dismantle the agency in the 1970s.[1] The agency was dismantled in 1981 by the Ronald Reagan administration,[1] as it was moved into the Department of Health and Human Services as the Office of Community Services, with most of its programs continuing to operate.
