CHS purchased their current site in Shoreline in 1993. The Capital Campaign was chaired by State Representative Ruth Kagi and the late (and former State Representative) Grace Cole.

Resulting from a merger between the Creative Life Foundation and Shoreline Youth Services in 1982, CHS is a highly respected resource in the community. For over twenty years, King County and the State of Washington have contracted with CHS to provide substance abuse treatment and prevention services to youth and adults on Medicaid or living with a low-income. CHS also has over twenty-five years of experience as a provider of community mental health services to economically disadvantaged children and families.

In 1994, CHS opened the Shoreline Family Support Center and began offering family support services to young children and their parents/caregivers. The community's demand for family support programs continued to grow, leading to the opening of the Ballinger Family Support Center and the Northshore Family Center in 2004.

In 2007, Center for Human Services was selected as one of eight sites around the country to participate in the Supporting Healthy Marriage research project, leading to the creation of Loving Families, our marriage education and support program.
