The Poor want a voice in program prioritization and evaluation, and more grants for low-income housing. They also recommend tapping retired Federal employees for poverty agency jobs and ensuring that representatives on CAP boards are actually from the Poor community."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Fred%20R.%20Harris%20Collection/CAC_CC_026_3_285_24_0000-LaDonna%20Harris,%20Womens%20Advisory%20Committee%20on%20Poverty,%20June-February,%201968-1969/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_026_3_285_24_0007_thumbnail.jpg "Improving Community Involvement in Government Programs: A Report on the 1968 Community Representatives Advisory Council Meeting")
