Historical Note
The Department of Neighborhoods was created in 1991 by consolidating
staff from the Executive Department's Citizens Service Bureau and Office of
Neighborhoods, the Community Service Centers of the Department of Human
Resources, and the Neighborhood Assistance Division of the Department of
Community Development. The Office of Urban Conservation, the City's historic
preservation agency, was added in 1992. The following year, the department
added a community development function by taking over projects in the Central
Area, Southeast Seattle, and the Port of Seattle. In 1999, the Neighborhood
Planning Office was abolished and its continuing functions were assumed by the
Department of Neighborhoods. The Department's mission is to bring local
government closer to the citizens by maintaining a responsive presence in
Seattle neighborhoods, by responding to citizen concerns and complaints, and
providing a communications link for neighborhoods on City issues that will have
an impact on them. The department operates the Neighborhood Service Centers
(Little City Halls), administers the Neighborhood Matching Grant Program,
staffs the Landmarks Preservation Board, and manages the P-Patch program.
Records relating to Neighborhood Matching Fund Special Projects grants
from the External Beautification Fund for Seattle Public Schools. The
Neighborhood Matching Fund (NMF) program, created in 1988, provides financial
assistance for community-driven neighborhood development projects. In 1996 and
1997 the Fund set aside enough money for each public school to receive about
$1000 for an external beautification project. Each school had to provide a
matching portion of monetary donations, as well as volunteer hours, and often
supplies as well. Projects included painting buildings, creation of gardens,
enhancement of entryways, creation of murals, grounds clean-up, installation of
benches and picnic tables, construction of storage sheds, renovation of flower
beds, and tree plantings. Types of records include grant applications,
agreements, amendments, progress reports, final reports, newspaper clippings,
newsletters, site maps, work plans, and photos.
Records are open to the public.
