• During President Gerald Ford’s administration, the OEO was
terminated and replaced by the Community Services
Administration. This diminished the agency’s presence. It no
longer was in the Executive Office but was slated to be
transferred into HEW.
• Ford self-described himself as a domestic moderate and fiscal
conservative. The CAA was not a priority for him, and he paid
more attention to the complaints against CAAs from local
politicians. Overall funding of CAAs was basically flat or below
inflation during this period.
