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.
Records of an office that oversaw the City’s Residential Weatherization
Assistance Program which delivered weatherization services to low-income
households. Assistance for weatherization improvements of houses and apartment
buildings consisted of grants and loans for insulation, caulking, hot water
heater jackets and other services. Records include correspondence, plans,
reports, policies, grant information and subject files.
Arranged alphabetically in two groups.
Records are open to the public.
