Lyndon B. Johnson's "War on Poverty" was a set of programs and initiatives aimed at reducing poverty in the United States. One of the key programs in the plan was the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964, which established Job Corps, VISTA, and Head Start. These programs provided job training, education, and other support services to disadvantaged individuals. The plan also included the creation of the Department of Housing and Urban Development, which implemented public housing programs to address the housing needs of low-income individuals. Additionally, the plan expanded Social Security benefits and Medicaid to provide a safety net for those in need.
