The 1964 Economic Opportunity Act authorized the establishment of Community Action Agencies to combat poverty related conditions.

In 1964, the Houston Action for Youth organization began operation and the following year the Houston-Harris County Economic Opportunity Organization was formed.

In 1967, these two organizations were merged to become the Harris County Community Action Association, predecessor of today’s Gulf Coast Community Services Association (GCCSA).
