The Central Area Motivation Program (CAMP) was founded in the era of the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 and is the oldest surviving independent agency established during the War on Poverty. It was created through the work of Central Area residents and friends who organized to develop a comprehensive anti-poverty proposal steered by the Central Area Citizens Committee. Today, it continues to provide essential human services, from housing to personal finance programming and access to healthy foods. In 2018, it officially became Byrd Barr Place, named after Roberta Byrd Barr, community leader, educator, journalist, and, notably, Seattle’s first woman high school principal, leading Lincoln High School.
