President Richard Nixon approached poverty in America through his "New Federalism" initiative, which aimed to decentralize federal authority and give more power to state and local governments. He advocated for programs like the Family Assistance Plan, which sought to provide a guaranteed minimum income for families, although it faced significant opposition and ultimately did not pass. Nixon also expanded food assistance programs and supported initiatives like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). His administration's approach reflected a blend of conservative and progressive ideas, emphasizing both welfare reform and economic growth.
