The Office of Economic Opportunity, formerly known as the State Economic Opportunity Office, was established in 1966 to provide training and technical assistance to Community Action Agencies. In 1981 the Office was assigned the responsibility of administering the federal Community Services Block Grant Program.
Since that time, the Office has assumed the responsibility for administering additional programs, including: the Emergency Shelter Grants Program (ESGP) and Weatherization Services.
OEO Goals:
- To help meet the needs of the poor by encouraging local grantees to develop innovative projects which better address the causes, conditions and problems of poverty.
