✨🎉 Celebrating 60 Years of ACAP! 🎉✨

Six decades ago, the federal government sought to combat poverty in the US with a series of bold initiatives created under Lyndon B. Johnson's Economic Opportunity ACT of 1964. Commonly was referred to as The War of Poverty, President Johnson viewed poverty not as a personal failure, but as a societal failure. He said, "The cause may lie deeper in our failure to give our fellow citizens a fair chance to develop their own capacities, in a lack of education and training, in a lack of medical care and housing, in a lack of decent communities in which to live and bring up their children."

The Act created critical and enduring federal programs like Head Start, Job Corp, Medicare and Medicaid --just to name a few-- designed to address specific challenges and help create a more just nation that cares about all of its citizens.

ACAP (orignally ACOI: Albany County Opportunity Inc.) was born from this Act.
