Traditional public assistance, drawing largely on the income maintenance strategy, seemed ineffective in tackling the poverty problems. In recent years, the assets accumulation theory has been adopt to assist needy people and carried out some experimental programs in Taiwan. Those experimental programs showed some effects on helping needy people for eradicating poverty. However, any policy and system are unable to avoid the restriction on the structure and effects while it meets different society cultures. Thus, we should examine whether the assets accumulation welfare theory suit for Taiwan and how would it develop in the future. This project is going to explore and organize the policy maker and practitioner’s experience and opinions to suggest the eradicating poverty poicy in Taiwan. The conclusions of this study are that the Social Assistance Act amendments firmed the poverty alleviation policy, the administration system still lack of case management while implementation, low-income households who were out of poverty via the programs were not in a high rate due to welfare dependency. Then, there are some limits of implementation including lacking of funds and manpower, some implementation limits were not overcame, the low coverage of programs and services,etc.. Thus, the study suggest that provides multivariate strategy to increase the ability of service users, enhancing case management services, enriching the resources of funds of programs, and strengthen the service integration system , etc..
