Great Society Legislation had a number of positive effects.
The Economic Opportunity Act 1964 (the first piece of Great Society legislation) tried to give people tools to get out of poverty.
The bill created a Job Corps similar to the New Deal Civilian Conservation Corps; a domestic peace corps; a system for vocational training; and Head Start, a pre-school program designed to prepare children for success in public school. The bill also funded community action programs and extended loans to small businessmen and farmers. 

In 1964, 44% of seniors had no health care coverage, and with the medical bills that come with older age. This was a big money loose for many seniors. Under 65% were living below the poverty line. Medicare was an important and big change in American health care -- it was called the "biggest management job since the invasion of Normandy" , and it was up to John Gardner to make it work.... 

And there was an educational reform, and a the cities were rebuilt to more urban (instead of rural) I don't want to type too much.
