(1) The Legislative Assembly finds that:

(a) The temporary assistance for needy families program is the state’s primary safety net for families with children who live in extreme poverty; and

(b) Outcomes for disadvantaged parenting youth improve when the parenting youth have opportunities to connect to employment, training and education programs.

(2) In order to provide a path out of poverty for families, adults and parenting youth and to maximize the services available to assist families, adults and parenting youth in moving out of poverty, the Department of Human Services shall work with other agencies and organizations to provide the resources, referrals or services described in ORS 412.006. [2015 c.765 §1; 2019 c.602 §1]

Note: 412.002 was added to and made a part of 412.001 to 412.161 by legislative action but was not added to any smaller series therein. See Preface to Oregon Revised Statutes for further explanation.
