EOA PROGRA~.1S THE COMMUNITY ACTION PROGRAM ATLANTA CONCENTRATED EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM On August 20, 1964, the President of the United States signed the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964, (Public Law 88-452). This act mobilized the human and financial resources of the entire country to help the nation's poor help themselves by giving them OPPORTUNITIES - opportunities for education and training, for employment, and for better methods of living in present day America. While this legislation was still pending, Atlanta and Fulton County officials began making plans to ensure prompt action for over 160,000 underpriviledged citizens in this area. The result was a joint resolution passed on August 19, 1964, by th.e Mayor and the Board of Aldermen of the City of Atlanta and the Commissioners of Roads and Revenues of Fulton County, creating a community action board to receive and administer federal Economic Opportunity funds. Because of this timely planning, Atlanta and Fulton County received one of the first OE~ to an urparrarea on Noyember 23, 1964. .:C M <-v+, ~ ..., eJ h o c.,,J, /.ach year thousands of people move to Atlanta from farms and villages. Many are unequipped to cope with the demands of urban living. These new arrivals, as well as thousands of families already living here, are trapped by the cycle of poverty, unemployment, disease, ignorance and public dependence. Many who most need the help offered by public and private organizations concerned with their welfare are not aware of the services or are not able to take the basic steps necessary to obtain them. Often they are unable to read street or bus signs, fill out applications or follow written instructions. In short, they are unable to help themselves. To reach these people and help them become self-sufficient, EOA has established neighborhoord service centers in 14 lowincome areas of Atlanta and Fulton, Gwinnett and Rockdale Counties. Through these 14 centers EOA provides employment counseling, social services and numerous self-help programs. Seventeen local agencies help administer these programs, under contract to EOA. Other agencies, though not funded by EOA, also place representatives in EOA neighborhood centers or cooperate by providing services to individuals referred to them by EOA. Residents of areas served by the 14 centers participate in planning EOA programs through 200 neighborhood block clubs, 14 Citizens Neighborhood Advisory Councils, A Citizens Central Advisory Council and the EOA Board of Directors, one t hird of which is composed of low-income representatives. Through this participation, people learn to identify common problems. As new leadership emerges, they assume responsibility for finding solutions to many of these problems. Representatives to EOA committees are elected once a year through democratic elections held in the neighborhoods. More than 12,000 people voted for 1968 representatives in 200 neighborhood block elections. In 1967, 11,500 people voted in 194 block elections. In 1966, the first such elections, 2,000 people voted in 11 polling places. EOA is not a financial aid program. It offers opportunities, a hand up instead of a hand out. It is an experimental program, searching for new approaches to old and complex problems. Acting as a catalyst, it has brought numerous changes in old methods and attitudes. The success of these changes will be measured by the continued development of a se lf-sufficient, aware and responsible citizenry, so essential for the growth and survival of Metro olitan Atlanta. Statistics in this report cover the period from January 1965 through December, 1967. Administering Agency: Address: Telephone: Director: EOA 101 Marietta Street, N.W. 688-1494 Mrs. Doris C.

Text Any textual data included in the document BRIEF HISTORY OF EOA THE COMMUNITY ACTION PROGRAM On August 20, 1964, the President of the United States signed the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964, (Public Law 88-452). This act mobilized the human and financial resources of the entire country to help the nation’s poor help themselves by giving them OPPORTUNITIES — opportunities for education and training, for employment, and for better methods of living in present day America. While this legislation was still pending, Atlanta and Fulton County officials began making plans to ensure prompt action for over 160,000 underpriviledged citizens in this area. The result was a joint resolution passed on August 19, 1964, by the Mayor and the Board of Aldermen of the City of Atlanta and the Commissioners of Roads and Revenues of Fulton County, creating a community action board to receive and administer federal Economic Opportunity funds. Because of this timely planning, Atlanta and Fulton County received one of the first OEO grants to an urban area on Noyember 23, 1964. ort Ny ontd ho ach year thousands of people move to Atlanta from farms and villages. Many are unequipped to cope with the demands of urban living. These new arrivals, as well as thousands of families already living here, are trapped by the cycle of poverty, unem- ployment, disease, ignorance and public dependence. Many who most need the help offered by public and private organizations concerned with their welfare are not aware of the services or are not able to take the basic steps necessary to obtain them. Often they are unable to read street or bus signs, fill out applications or follow written instructions. In short, they are unable to help themselves. To reach these people and help them become self-sufficient, EOA has established neighborhood service centers in 14 low- income areas of Atlanta and Fulton, Gwinnett and Rockdale Counties. Through these 14 centers EOA provides employment counseling, social services and numerous self-help programs. Seventeen local agencies help administer these programs, under contract to EOA. Other agencies, though not funded by EOA, also place representatives in EQOA neighborhood centers or coope- rate by providing services to individuals referred to them by EOA. Residents of areas served by the 14 centers participate in plan- ning EOA programs through 200 neighborhood block clubs, 14 Citizens Neighborhood Advisory Councils, A Citizens Central Ad- visory Council and the EOA Board of Directors, one third of which is composed of low-income representatives. Through this Participation, people learn to identify common problems. As new leadership emerges, they assume responsibility for finding solu- tions to many of these problems. Representatives to EOA committees are elected once a year through democratic elections held in the neighborhoods. More than 12,000 people voted for 1968 representatives in 200 neigh- borhood block elections. In 1967, 11,500 people voted in 194 block elections. In 1966, the first such elections, 2,000 people voted in 11 polling places. EOA is not a financial aid program. It offers opportunities, a hand up instead of a hand out. It is an experimental program, searching for new approaches to old and complex problems. Acting as a catalyst, it has brought numerous changes in old methods and attitudes. The success of these changes will be measured by the continued development of a self-sufficient, aware and responsible citizenry, so essential for the growth and survival of Metropolitan Atlanta.

In his proclamation Mayor Allen states that even though Atlanta is one of the most progressive cities in the United States, some 160,000 eititene have not shared in Atlanta’s growth and progress. The severe problems caused by this wasted human and economic poten- tial cannot be solved without the immediate help of all citizens, according to the Mayor. To assist those who want to. become personally involved in sol- ving these problems, Economic Opportunity Atlanta, Inc., Atianta's anti-poverty agency, is introducing two new programs during "START NOW ATLANTA WEEK." One program offers poverty area tours led by residents of the area and the other offers new kinds of volunteer jobs. I. POVERTY TOURS. For those who want first hand information about Atlanta's slums, twenty-two poverty area residents have volun- teered to lead tours in their neighborhoods to show what progress o they have made through their own efforts and what obstacles they still face. They call themselves V.I.P.'s, or Volunteer Information People, and are members of EOA neighborhood self-help groups in 14 low-income areas served by EOA neighborhood centers. Groups or individuals interested in arranging tours should contact Mrs. Mary Lu Mitchell, EOA Public Information Director, 525-4262. II. VOLUNTEERS. For those who want to assist the poor in their self-help efforts, EOA is coordinating a new volunteer pro- gram.
