Austin Public Health Community Services Division/Neighborhood Services Unit Strategic Plan 2025 -- 2029 Introduction In 2015, the US Department of Health and Human Services Department issued Information Memorandum No. 138 establishing organizational standards for Community Action Agencies (CAAs) who receive Community Services Block Grant funding. To ensure all CAAs began working toward meeting these standards, the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs requested documentation of approval of the Strategic Plan by the CSBG Advisory Board, in addition to specific Goals, Objectives, Strategy, Outcome and Output Measures included in the Strategic Plan. Austin Public Health’s Community Services Division/Neighborhood Services Unit (NSU) serves as the CSBG Community Action Agency for Travis County. The NSU uses CSBG funding as the primary source of support for the services provided by the Department’s six (6) neighborhood centers. In late 2024, NSU will open a seventh center, the Dove Springs Neighborhood Center, located in southeast Austin. Austin Public Health has its own strategic plan. NSU submits a specific strategic plan for the work supported by CSBG through its Neighborhood Centers to meet TDHCA’s expectations. In 2024, NSU conducted a Community Needs Assessment. The Community Development Commission continues to serve as the required CSBG Advisory Board. To develop the Strategic Plan for the work supported by CSBG through its Neighborhood Centers, several internal strategic planning sessions were conducted with 40+ employees which identified priorities to be addressed in the next five years. Moving forward, we will continue to work with Department leadership to ensure this Strategic Plan works hand in hand with the basic needs of our community. II. Purpose TDHCA’s Strategic Planning Guide cites several key factors that have served as our purpose for our strategic planning efforts: • To meet CSBG program requirements and CSBG grant purpose to address the reduction of poverty, the revitalization of low- income communities, and empower low-income persons to become self-sufficient • To demonstrate participation of low-income individuals in CAAs activities. • To produce decisions and actions that guide the organization’s program operations • To help prioritize efforts and determine the allocation of resources • To improve effectiveness and efficiency through agreed upon strategies and goals III. Mandates During the internal strategic planning sessions, we reviewed the various mandates that the Neighborhood Centers are expected to meet. Among them are: CSBG and TDHCA Mandates • To reduce poverty • To revitalize low-income communities • To empower low-income families and …

CITY OF AUSTIN CITIZEN PARTICIPATION PLAN A. PURPOSE Participating Jurisdictions (PJs) that receive U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) entitlement grant funds must develop a Citizen Participation Plan (CPP). The CPP describes efforts that will be undertaken to encourage community members to participate in the development of the City’s federal reports: Assessment of Fair Housing (AFH), Consolidated Plan, Annual Action Plan, and the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER). The CPP is designed to encourage the participation of city residents in the development of the federal reports listed above, particularly those residents who are predominantly low- and moderate-income. For purposes of CDBG funding, a resident is considered to be low-income if their family income equals 50% or less of median family income (MFI), as estimated by HUD. A person is considered to be moderate-income if their family income is between 50% and 80% of MFI. Predominately low-to moderate-income neighborhoods are defined as any neighborhood where at least 51% of the residents have incomes equal to or below 80% of the MFI for any given year. The determination of whether a neighborhood meets the low-to moderate income definition is made by the City at the time a project of area-wide benefit is funded based on current data provided by HUD. The CPP also encourages local and regional institutions and other organizations (including businesses, developers, and community and faith-based organizations) to participate in the process of developing and implementing the Consolidated Plan and related reports. The City takes appropriate actions to encourage the participation of persons of minority backgrounds, persons with limited-English proficiency, and persons with disabilities. It is important to note that HUD’s use of the statutory term “citizen participation” does not in any way limit engagement and consultation with community members based on legal status or country of origin. Any person that resides in the Austin metro area is encouraged to provide input about the federal reporting process as outlined in this CPP. The City of Austin is committed to compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended. Reasonable modifications and equal access to communications will be provided upon request. The City of Austin does not discriminate on the basis of disability in the admission or access to, or treatment or employment in its programs and activities. The City of Austin considers it the right of …
PLAN DE PARTICIPACIÓN CIUDADANA DE LA CIUDAD DE AUSTIN A. PROPÓSITO Las Jurisdicciones Participantes (PJ, por sus siglas en inglés) que reciben fondos de subvención garantizada por ley del Departamento de Vivienda y Desarrollo Urbano (HUD) de los Estados Unidos deben desarrollar un Plan de Participación Ciudadana (CPP, por sus siglas en inglés). El CPP describe las iniciativas que se llevarán a cabo para fomentar la participación de los miembros de la comunidad en el desarrollo de los informes federales de la Ciudad: Evaluación de Vivienda Justa (AFH), Plan Consolidado, Plan de Acción Anual y el Informe Consolidado Anual de Rendimiento y Evaluación (CAPER). los El CPP está diseñado para fomentar la participación de los residentes de la ciudad en el desarrollo de informes federales mencionados anteriormente, en especial aquellos residentes que perciben predominantemente ingresos bajos y moderados. Para los fines de asignación de fondos de Subvención en Bloque para Desarrollo Comunitario (CDBG), se considera que un residente tiene ingresos bajos cuando el ingreso familiar es igual al 50% o menos del ingreso familiar mediano (MFI), según lo estimado por el HUD. Una persona se considera de ingresos moderados cuando su ingreso familiar está entre el 50% y el 80% del MFI. Los vecindarios de ingresos predominantemente bajos a moderados se definen como cualquier vecindario donde al menos el 51% de los residentes tienen ingresos iguales o inferiores al 80% del MFI para un año determinado. La Ciudad determina si un vecindario cumple con la definición de ingresos bajos a moderados al momento de financiar un proyecto de beneficio en toda el área, utilizando datos actuales proporcionados por el HUD. El CPP también fomenta la participación de instituciones locales y regionales y otras organizaciones (incluidas empresas, desarrolladores y organizaciones comunitarias y religiosas) en el proceso de desarrollo e implementación del Plan Consolidado y los informes relacionados. La Ciudad lleva a cabo medidas adecuadas para promover la participación de personas de grupos minoritarios, personas con dominio limitado del inglés y personas con discapacidades. Es importante destacar que el uso por parte del HUD del término estatutario "participación ciudadana" de ninguna manera limita la participación y consulta con los miembros de la comunidad según su condición legal o país de origen. Se alienta a cualquier persona que resida en el área metropolitana de Austin a proporcionar información sobre el proceso de presentación de informes federales, tal como se describe en este CPP. …
