The Division was comprised of the following branches: Social Assistance Programs Branch; Ontario Works Branch; Ontario Disability Support Program Branch; Business and Technology Integration Branch; and the Social Assistance Transformation Secretariat.
Program delivery services were provided through area and local offices, municipalities, or First Nations bands.
In 2004, the Division underwent reorganization resulting in the migration of functions to the Social Assistance and Municipal Operations Branch.
