	 <p>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.</p>
