Leaflet on Historical archives
Context: From an informative leaflet on historical archives in Mallorca. From a list of collections of records.
1. AYUNTAMIENTO DE PALMA
Fondo histórico 1718-1950
Fondo administrativo 1951-abierto
Casa de Socorro 1908-1935
2. UNIVERSITAT DE LA CIUTAT
I REGNE DE MALLORCA
Colecciones facticias s. XVI-XVII
Universal Consignació
(pergaminos) s. XIV-XVII
Taula Nummulària s. XVI-XVII
My client clarified thus:
Las "Casas de Socorro" eran entidades de beneficiencia que acogían a los necesitados.
http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casa_de_socorro
So this would be a refuge or charitable hospital of some kind, but I just can't think of what would be the most appropriate translation.
UK Eng. Thanks in advance.

Selected
Casa de Socorro - shelter for the homeless
OR: Casa de Socorro - shelter for the needy
Casa de Socorro - home for the needy
As the heading is capitalised, I'd treat it as a proper name, so leave it untranslated. But I do think it needs glossing - which can of course also be done using brackets if you prefer

refuge for the dispossessed
I would say this fits your description. A first-aid post is the modern meaning.

Esta es la traducción literal. Sin embargo, sí que podría referirse a las antiguas casas de socorro en España, que recogían a niños huérfanos y personas desamparadas. En este caso, se podría traducir por "charity hostel/refuge". Saludos.

In your historical context, this might be roughly equivalent, although the poorhouse or workhouse is perhaps an older concept.

Orphanage and Refuge/Shelter
it seems this was mostly for orphans so adding Refuge or Shelter for older homeless. Back then in UK these would have been separate institutions for the children and adults
