| Abstract: | In 1973, the General Assembly created the Council on Human Services to coordinate planning and carrying out programs involving two or more agencies, to plan for increased private sector participation, and to provide direction to and coordination with federally funded programs. The Council took over administrative responsibility for some existing programs and developed some new ones including Project Triage (home-care for the elderly), the Wilderness School, the Parent Child Resource System, and the Information and Referral Service. In 1976, the General Assembly abolished the Council as an administrative agency, changing its status to that of an advisory body to the Governor. In 1977, the Council was replaced by a human services reorganization commission. |

Historical Note
In the 1960's there were a number of state government agencies concerned with what have come to be described as human services. The Etherington Commission on reorganization of the state government recommended the creation of a single department. A second study, by the Zimmerman Commission, produced a similar recommendation, but the General Assembly compromised, in 1973, by creating the Council on Human Services to coordinate the planning and carrying out of programs involving two or more agencies, to plan for increased private sector participation, and to provide direction and coordination to federally funded programs. The Council, made up of the heads of the eleven human services agencies and several public members, was headed first by Lt. Governor Peter Cashman and later by Secretary of the State Gloria Schaffer. Its small staff was provided at first by the Planning and Budgeting Division of Finance and Control, one of whose officers, Rosalie Lang, became the Council's Executive Director in the fall of 1974.
The Council took over administrative responsibility for some existing programs and developed some new ones such as: Project Triage (home-care for the elderly), the Wilderness School, the Parent Child Resource System, and the Information and Referral Services, and it also assisted in obtaining federal grants for related programs to be carried on by the other state departments.
At its 1976 session, the General Assembly in effect abolished the Council as an administrative agency, changing its status to that of an advisory body to the Governor and providing for the transfer of its operating functions to other state agencies. At the end of June 1976 the process was practically complete.
Following the Filer Commission report at the end of 1976, the General Assembly enacted a major reorganization plan (P.A. 77-614) which Governor Grasso signed on June 2, 1977. This provided for replacement of the Council by a human services reorganization commission, which was to prepare a new "state human services plan" (Sections 546-548).
