In 1944, the Los Angeles Council of Social Agencies (founded 1914) officially became the Welfare Council of Metropolitan Los
Angeles. Its mission was to engage in the development of a community program of health and welfare services, and to serve
as a medium for cooperative health and welfare planning in the Los Angeles region. In 1950, the Council officially separated
from its sister institution, the Welfare Federation, and changed its name to the Welfare Planning Council, Los Angeles Region.
The collection is organized into 5 series: 1) Welfare Council general publications; 2) Research Department reports; 3) Youth
Services Division materials; 4) Family and Adult Services Division reports and publications; and 5) Miscellaneous committees'
reports and publications. Within each series, materials are generally arranged chronologically.
The Welfare Council of Metropolitan Los Angeles reports and publications consists of documents produced by various divisions
of the Welfare Council, 1944-1953. Chief among them are the annual reports, Council's by-laws and related documents, and newsletters;
and reports produced by the Research Department, which make up the bulk of the collection. These latter reports cover topics
such as the functions of the Research Department; the creation and implementation of social welfare standards; assessment
of youth services; budgets, wages, and working conditions; housing for the aging, etc. Also included are materials produced
