Human Services Department Human Services Department Child Development Program Records 1986-2002 1995-2001 4.8 cubic feet 12 boxes An office that ensured access to affordable education and child development programs for all children, especially low-income and disadvantaged children. Collection materials are in English 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.

Files of the Manager of Child Development Programs, including subject files, project files, conference and seminar records. Programs focused on child care, early childhood education and out-of-school care for school-age children. Projects were funded by the Families and Education levies and grants and included the Seattle MOST (Making The Most Of Out-Of-School Time) Initiative and Project Lift-Off, two programs aimed at improving out-of-school care for children and youth.
