  The general assembly hereby finds, determines, and declares that:   The unrealized and lost human resource potential of low-income and working-poor individuals of this state results in an overall loss to the potential of the entire state;    It is in the best interests of all Coloradans to structure incentives in a way that will result in a greater likelihood that low-income and working-poor individuals will attain self-sufficiency;    It is in the best interests of all Coloradans to concentrate appropriate assets and investments on low-income and working-poor individuals and in low-income and working-poor neighborhoods and communities in order to allow low-income individuals, neighborhoods, and communities to benefit from the developments achieved through the growth in assets and investments;    Achieving self-sufficiency and assessing economic opportunity for low-income and working-poor individuals can be addressed through public policy that invests in asset accumulation and is supported by private sector philanthropy;    Providing a structured savings situation for low-income and working-poor individuals enhances such individuals' chances of fulfilling major life goals and opportunities and incorporates such individuals into the economic mainstream; and    Such self-sufficiency may, in turn, result in fewer people needing to seek public assistance.       Therefore, the general assembly hereby authorizes the implementation of an individual development account program to provide incentives and motivation for low-income and working-poor individuals and families to develop and concentrate assets and investments for use by such individuals who are striving for self-sufficiency and need a jump-start for economic opportunity.

2021 Colorado Code|Title 26 - Human Services Code|Article 2 - Public Assistance|Part 11 - Transitional Jobs Program|§ 26-2-1101. Legislative Declaration

  The general assembly hereby finds and declares:   Transitional jobs have proven to be an effective policy response to stubbornly high unemployment rates and the difficulties that many smaller employers face in filling job vacancies and expanding job opportunities. Transitional jobs have helped to:   Stabilize individuals and families with earned income;    Stimulate local economies through wages paid;    Contribute to the economic health of employers;    Provide unemployed and underemployed adults an opportunity to experientially learn, model, and practice successful workplace behaviors that will help them to get and keep unsubsidized employment;    Build work histories and references for participants to more easily move into unsubsidized and stable employment;    Address barriers to work that have kept the unemployed and underemployed out of the regular labor market; and    Reduce recidivism and public costs.       Colorado has already demonstrated the value of transitional jobs through its successful HIRE Colorado initiative. Operated with federal funds from October 2009 through September 2010, HIRE Colorado provided transitional jobs to over one thousand seven hundred unemployed Coloradans, enabling them to do productive, wage-paying work for local governments, nonprofit agencies, and for-profit employers. According to data from the Colorado department of human services, HIRE Colorado helped nearly seventy-five percent of its participants to move into unsubsidized employment. In states whose transitional jobs programs focused on those with the most acute job search challenges, nearly fifty percent, an unusually high success rate for such a population, moved into unsubsidized work.    While nationally unemployment is falling slowly and although Colorado's unemployment rate is better than the national average, Coloradans still face difficulty in finding full-time jobs. According to a recent analysis, nearly two hundred thousand Coloradans are “officially” unemployed, but there are fewer than seventy-five thousand job openings. At the same time that unemployed and underemployed Coloradans struggle to find employment in the face of this job shortage, many employers have found it difficult to fill the job vacancies they do have. Transitional jobs are part of the solution to both unemployment and unfilled job vacancies.        History. Source: L. 2013: Entire part added,(HB 13-1004), ch. 357, p. 2097, § 1, effective July 1.
