Needs Assessment on Service Needs and Barriers for those in-care and out of care Year 2 Activity, Literature Review From responses of 2/4 FASPNA members, Understanding the impact of rising housing costs on HIV Health Care access is the most interested topic by having the highest score. Access the survey here: or visit surveymonkey.com/r/HIVPCY2NA The populations of interest are Black MSMs, Latinx MSMs, and Black WSMs from ages 14-34. Limited information related to transgender and gender diverse persons may be available depending on how various literature define gender. What does FASPNA think of these suggested topics and populations? The purpose of the literature review is to serve as a “special study” by compiling existing literature related to identified barriers and needs for PLWH in lieu of resurveying, to further explore a key identified issues from the survey administered in 2022. The focus will be for those who are lost to care or out of care compared to those in care, if possible. We hope to use the information compiled to be able to carry out focus groups that will begin planning in April to better understand factors that would help return PLWH to care and keep persons in care. Access to the system of care analysis and provider capacity and capabilities report is available on request.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OF INTEGRATED PLAN AND SCSN The Integrated HIV Prevention and Care Plan is a five year plan to accelerate progress in the Austin Transitional Grant Area (TGA) towards diagnosing all people with HIV early as a possible, treating people with HIV rapidly and effectively to reach sustained viral suppression, preventing new HIV transmissions by using proven interventions, including pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), and responding quickly to potential HIV outbreaks to get vital prevention and treatment services to people who need them in order to increase access to care, improve health outcomes, and reduce HIV-related health disparities. This plan reviews the landscape of the HIV epidemic in the Austin TGA—the demographics of those living with and more likely to be impacted by HIV/AIDS, resources and services available, and needs, gaps and barriers to prevention and care. The second half of the plan details goals and objectives the Austin TGA in accordance with the plans of our partners initiatives Ending the HIV Epidemic and Fast Track Cities. In 2019, there were 6,721 people living with HIV/AIDS (PWH) within the five county TGA, with over 100 new diagnoses that year. A majority (85%) of people with HIV are male. Among males, Whites have a higher prevalence at 42%, followed by Latinx at 36%. Black females comprise 48% of all females with HIV, while Black males comprise 16% of all males with HIV. Men who have sex with men (MSM) continue to bear a heavy burden of HIV in the Austin TGA. Table D demonstrates the distribution of mode of transmission by race/ethnicity among persons living with HIV in the Austin TGA. The most common mode of transmission was MSM (70%) for all races/ethnicities. MSM was the most common mode of transmission for HIV cases among all groups: …

CITY OF AUSTIN HISTORIC LANDMARK COMMISSION CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS Old Bakery & Emporium Mural Wall - Written Scope of Work The following scope of work provides information about a new mural on the south-facing wall of the Old Bakery & Artisan Emporium, located at 1006 Congress Avenue. The Old Bakery building is historically designated on the local, state, and federal levels. On the state level, the building is a State Antiquities Landmark and Recorded Texas Historical landmark. Additionally, the building is a City of Austin Landmark and individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is a contributing building to the Congress Avenue National Register Historic District. The building was originally built as a Swedish bakery and has housed several uses over the years since its construction in the late-1800s. Currently, the building is home to a gift shop, museum, and artist gallery for artists over the age of 50 and is currently owned and operated by the City of Austin’s Parks and Recreation Department. The south-facing wall of the Old Bakery building was originally built as an interior party wall shared with the adjacent building. After the demolition of the adjacent building in the late-1960s, the limestone rubble masonry wall was stuccoed and painted over with a neutral gold tone. There are no significant or historic architectural elements on the south facade. In the years since the demolition of the adjacent building and the stuccoing of the new exterior wall, a drainpipe, light fixture, and ADA compliant handrail have been mounted to the wall face. Today, the stucco finish is in fair-to-poor condition with many visible cracks and discoloration in the painted surface. There are several unused penetrations and metal hardware in the wall’s surface from previous signage and modifications (see attached images for reference). Per feedback received during a consultation meeting with THC staff on May 22, 2023, the mural will have a minimum five-foot setback from the east-facing wall to maintain a corner visual with the main east elevation of today’s condition. The mural will only be located on the south-facing wall to comply with the City of Austin’s mural guidelines that prohibits murals facing onto the Congress Avenue, which is a National Register Historic District. There is a precedent set for murals on the side walls of buildings within the Congress Avenue National Register Historic District, such as Mexic-Arte’s north-facing Mero Muro Wall located …

STATE THEATER BLADE REPLICA ARC REVIEW; 2.21.24 SCOPE: phase 1 The following is the proposed work for the fabrication of a replication of the State Theater blade sign. The product includes a solid- state programmable flasher/speller to control the lighting. Several light shows can be pre-programmed, and it has the capability to update these light shows as desired. The base cost includes using upgraded LED lighting. All fabrication of the blade will be from steel angle structure and steel/aluminum sheet material. All finishes are acrylic polyurethane (automotive grade). All electrical will be per NEC code and all products are UL recognized. This includes UL 2161 compliant transformers, which require internal ground faulting. The blade sign will be fabricated to install on support structure points on the building prepared for it by engineer. SCOPE: phase 2 Preparation of steel sign support structure, removal of existing sign, and installation of newly built State Theater blade sign. Structural engineers will determine building support system specifications for steel support structure fabrication. Crane service for structural material rooftop staging and sign installation will be provided. All electrical connections tied into building will be made and secured in watertight connections.
