    Hamilton-Madison House, at 50 Madison Street, seeks term grants for door-to-door casework

    In a proposal dated June 28, 1965 and headed 50 Madison Street, Hamilton-Madison House asked for support for community organizers and caseworkers. They would reach multi-problem families at their doors and run year-round programs for ages three to ninety-three. A note on the posted proposal says it was written in the first year Community Action grants were awarded under the War on Poverty.
