Webb County Community Action Agency - Rio Bravo Community Center

The Economic Opportunity Act of 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson solidified his commitment to forging new opportunities for the poor in the United States by mobilizing financial and human resources to eliminate poverty. To assist in fighting LBJ's "War on Poverty", local Community Action Agencies were created to provide a wide range of human services at the community level to help individuals become self-sufficient. The Webb County Community Action Agency (WCCAA) has been in existence since the War on Poverty began in 1965. It's mission of trying to help our elderly, disabled, and disadvantaged families attain a better education, and become self-sufficient. The WCCAA became a department of Webb County in October 1, 1996 with the Commissioner's Court as the Governing Board and a Tripartide Advisory Board.
