traditional schools absolutely don't have open enrollment. Try telling that to MIT or Stanford.
While I agree that there should be programs out there that reach out to underprivileged people and teach them to program I don't think the bootcamp model really suits them.
There are a number of organizations that do things like this (there should definitely be more though) but one of the main things is that the should generally be free and allow people to keep to differing paces. Otherwise you run into a large number of people who have spent a lot of money on a program that they won't do well at.
