Stanford, CA
In cooperation with the Stanford Center on Poverty & Inequality
Overview
More than 50 years ago President Lyndon B. Johnson declared a unilateral War on Poverty. As a result, Community Action Agencies were birthed as the offspring of the War on Poverty. Federally designated in law and statute as the poverty fighting agencies in our nation, Community Action Agencies in California have been on the front line empowering individuals and families to life themselves out of poverty with innovative strategies.
