Category: ABCD History Timeline

Nation’s first community health center is established by ABCD and Tufts University at the Columbia Point Housing Development.

Congress passes the Economic Opportunity Act (EOA) that creates the War on Poverty; ABCD is designated Boston’s antipoverty agency.

ABCD is incorporated to provide urban “human renewal” with a $1.9 million grant from the Ford Foundation and funding from the Permanent Charity Fund (now The Boston Foundation).
