Note
The Welfare Planning Council for the Los Angeles Region was originally formed in 1914, under the name of the Los Angeles Council of Social Agencies. During its earliest years, the Council's activities were focused on providing relief for the unemployed during the Great Depression, and then during World War II, on caring for children of working mothers. In 1944, the Council officially incorporated under the name of the Welfare Council of Metropolitan Los Angeles. The organization remained under this name until 1953, when it divided up into six different branches and moved to a more decentralized, community-based model, becoming the Welfare Planning Council, Los Angeles Region.
