Historical Note
An Office of Human Resources was established in 1971 in the Executive
Department to develop, implement, and manage social services for low-income and
disadvantaged residents of Seattle. In 1973 it was replaced by the Department
of Human Resources. DHR administered family and youth services programs, senior
citizen services, community service activities, the Seattle Veterans Action
Center, and the Comprehensive Residential Weatherization Program. Federal,
state, and local grants comprised two-thirds of the department's operating
budget. Passage of the 1986 Low Income Housing Levy increased the City's
funding and policy role in housing issues. In 1991, the agency name was changed
to the Department of Human Services. A year later, the Department of Housing
and Human Services was created, incorporating the City housing programs and
Community Development Block Grant administration from the recently abolished
Department of Community Development. DHHS programs included aging services,
family and youth services, housing and community services, human services, and
the City's education office. In 1999, the Office of Housing was established as
an independent agency and DHHS was reorganized as the Human Services
Department.
Project and subject files of a unit in the Department’s Family and Youth
Services Division that was responsible for programs to strengthen and support
families and administer Families and Education Levy funding. Programs included
family support centers, the Family Support Worker Program, and programs to
involve parents in the education of their children. Programs to assist families
of immigrants included the Asian/Pacific Islander Parent Education Project, the
Immigrant and Refugee Family Support Project, and the New Citizen Initiative.
Also included are records concerning administration of the Seattle Community
Public Health and Safety Network, which was one of the networks created by the
State Legislature to involve citizens in improving local conditions for
children and families.
Arranged into Project and Subject Files.
Records are open to the public.
