Theresa May has previously praised the dignity and determination of the Hillsborough families.
Chair of the Hillsborough Family Support Group, Margaret Aspinall, whose son James died in the disaster, said the meetings gave families a chance to "raise the issues that they've had personally as individuals about their loved one".
"I myself for the very first time felt - I'm sure the families did as well - that at last there's a home secretary that's actually listening to them," she said.
Judith Moritz, North of England correspondent
The home secretary has met some Hillsborough families before, but this is the first time that she's spoken directly to them since the inquests ended.
Theresa May spent several hours in Warrington, meeting separately with the two main groups of relatives.
The atmosphere was said to be heated, with some of the families complaining directly to her about the conduct of South Yorkshire Police during the inquests.
Some relatives asked for assurances that there will be criminal prosecutions, and I'm told that they wanted to make sure that the home secretary personally understood the emotional toll that the two-year inquests have taken.
Although the Hillsborough families welcomed the jury's finding of unlawful killing, they know that many months of uncertainty lie ahead before they find out whether criminal trials will follow.
