The statement that accurately describes a Great Society program is: The VISTA program helps address illiteracy and housing issues for minorities living in cities.

The Great Society, initiated by President Lyndon B. Johnson in the 1960s, included a variety of programs aimed at eliminating poverty and racial injustice, and VISTA (Volunteers in Service to America) was one of those programs focused on helping communities in need.

While Title IX is important for promoting gender equity in education and athletics, it was not originally a Great Society program; it was enacted in 1972. The Job Corps provides job training and employment-related services, but it does not specifically ensure equal pay. The Head Start program provides early childhood education, nutrition, and parent involvement services, but it does not directly encourage affirmative action.
