Sagot :

The Economic Opportunity Act was created to address poverty. Although it should be noted that some aspects of the Act were indirectly focussed on health as well. 

The Economic Opportunity Act was created to address POVERTY.

The Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 was the main Act of the "War on Poverty", a legislation introduced in the 1960s aiming to help end the poverty in the U.S. and make society more just and equitable. At the same time, War on Poverty was a major element of the "Great Society" legislative agenda of the President Lyndon Johnson's term (1963-69).

The act provided funds for job training, adult education, and loans to small businesses to attack the roots of unemployment and poverty. To achieve this, it established over a thousand of Community Action Agencies at the local level to implement its programs and required poor people to participate in their planning process as well.
