Family relief figures are listed under names of charitable relief organizations whose admistrations were taken over by the Director of Relief beginning in 1931. These organizations are: Citizens' Agency for Social Welfare (previously named Associated Charities); Eureka Benevolent Association, and Italian Board of Relief. The report also includes total figures for Non-Family Relief, as well as monthly and total figures for Single Men and Women's Division.

The program includes the following divisions, bureaus, and departments: Family Relief, Single Men (mostly transient), Single Women, Bachelor Men (housed), Clothing, Lunch Dept., Medical Bureau, and Non-Resident Families. Until April 1933, non-resident families were handled by Citizens Agency for Social Welfare (formerly known as Associated Charities), at which time that aspect of the program was transferred to Travelers Aid.
