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.
