The Legislative Assembly finds that:

(1) The problem of poverty will not be solved solely by government programs and income subsidies.

(2) Family economic well-being does not come solely from income, spending or consumption, but instead requires savings, investment and the accumulation of assets.

(3) It is appropriate for the state to institute an asset-based antipoverty strategy.

(4) The state has an opportunity to take advantage of private and federal resources by making the transition to an asset-based antipoverty strategy. Those resources may include, but are not limited to, the Assets for Independence Act (42 U.S.C. 604) and the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (29 U.S.C. 3101 et seq.).

(5) Investment through an individual development account system will help lower income households obtain the assets they need to succeed. Communities and this state will experience resultant economic and social benefits accruing from the promotion of the financial stability and resilience of lower income households. [1999 c.1000 §2; 2017 c.185 §12; 2017 c.297 §35; 2021 c.525 §9]
