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. Department of Human Resources 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 Director of the Community Services Division, including correspondence, subject and program files concerning the division’s mission to develop, implement and manage the provision of social services to residents of Seattle, especially disadvantaged and low-income individuals. Programs include Community Service Centers, the Seattle Veterans Action Center (SEA-VAC), Low-Income Weatherization Assistance, and P-Patch. Also included are files regarding its Emergency Services Project, which provided coordination and support for emergency food and shelter services
