War on poverty
Write a paper in which you research and analyze President Lyndon B Johnson’s key initiatives for his “war on poverty” in the 1960’s.While often remembered for his failure to end the Vietnam War and his crude personality, president Johnson felt deeply about ending poverty. You should research what initiatives were put into place (remember that Congress and the Senate also played a role in passing them), what their goals were, and then how successful they have been, or if they have not been successful. When you are analyzing some of these laws and programs (choose a few, not all) look at what made them succeed or fail. Was there enough funding? Were they implemented in the same way in each state? Were the programs funded and ran by the federal or state governments, or a combination of both? Are these programs still workable today, or do they need to be modified?
Other Information:
1) Must use MLA research paper format
2) Must use 4 scholarly sources plus one article from the textbook.
4) Paper II is 5-6 pages in length, not counting the Title page and Works Cited page

Answer preview
The EOA supported increased funding for programs that directly created jobs. The programs featured mostly in the program are the Job Corps, work-study, Community Action Program (CAP), and the Volunteers in Service to America (VISTA). According to Bailey & Duquette, the CAP was intended to provide services and activities that eradicate poverty (359). The EOA provided three radical approaches that guided the allocation of resources to CAP. One provision is that the allocation of funds is based on the apportionment index across all states. With this provision, states with large numbers of poor people receive more funds than states with few poor people. The second provision is that funds flow directly to agencies working on eradicating poverty and not through states or local governments. The third provision is that CAP programs be developed and administered with residents’ participation in the targeted areas.
