Abstract: This study aims to develop a quantitative method of choosing an optimal strategy for designing social assistance programs which take into account the efficiency of each program and its risks. The study starts from the balance achieved at the level of an individual between resources his needs, and is followed by modeling possibilities of state intervention to maintain this state of equilibrium. The mode of state intervention is defined for each social assistance program by addressing programs as public investment programs and their efficiency quantification will be analyzed by using established models specific to finances. Given the risk and efficiency of a social assistance program, the study determine a model of optimal allocation of resources for a portfolio of social assistance programs.
