Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Many of the laws passed during Johnson's War on Poverty aimed to improve opportunities for those living in poverty, such as the Economic Opportunity Act which created programs like Job Corps and Head Start. While federal housing was part of the War on Poverty, it was not exclusively focused on providing free housing to the homeless. Granting a guaranteed income was proposed as part of the War on Poverty, but it was never passed into law. Clothing assistance was not a primary focus of the War on Poverty legislation.
