Our antipoverty drive for new opportunities in employment. better health. and education. will fall short of our goals unless a program of legal assistance can be extended to the very poor. The poor and uneducated are the most intimidated. They live in a maze of consumer credit laws. public assistance and housing requirements. and immigration laws. The Office of Economic Opportunity legal services program directs its attention and the communitys resources to the needs of those afflicted and disadvantaged by poverty. The American Bar Association. leaders of local bar groups and various legal aid agencies are cooperating with the Office of Economic Opportunity in the program.
