Collective Sex Crimes Response Model (CSCRM) Project Status Update – Q2 2026 Austin Police | Date Background & Project Overview 2 History & Background The Collective Sex Crimes Response Model (CSCRM) project was born in 2023 out of many challenges experienced by the Austin Police (APD) Sex Crimes Unit (SCU) in the last decade, including: 2016: Systemic issues in its DNA lab that ultimately led to its closure; 2017: The withdrawal of APD from the Austin/Travis County Sexual Assault Response and Resource Team (A/TC SARRT); 2018: An investigative report that highlighted APD’s improper use of Exceptional Clearance in the closure of sexual assault cases; 2018 & 2020: Two class-action lawsuits filed against the city for the improper handling of sexual assault investigations (Smith v COA, Senko v COA); and 2022: Over 100 recommendations for change were reported by the Police Executive Research Forum (PERF) after a comprehensive and multi-year assessment of APD’s SCU.

Item 3. Draft Recommendation- Communities In Schools — original pdf
. RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL Commission For Women Recommendation Number: [YYYYMMDD-XXX]: Recommendation to the Austin City Council for the allocation of funding to Communities In Schools of Central Texas to support programs enhancing the academic and personal success of young girls in the Austin Independent School District. WHEREAS, the City of Austin Commission for Women is tasked with advising the City Council on issues affecting the economic security, health, and well-being of women and girls in our community; and WHEREAS, research, including the recently released Harvard Impact Study, demonstrates that personalized, integrated student supports lead to stronger academic outcomes, higher lifetime earnings, and increased local tax contributions; and WHEREAS, young girls in Central Texas, particularly those from under-resourced backgrounds, face unique barriers to education including lack of access to mental health services, basic needs, and mentorship; and WHEREAS, Communities In Schools (CIS) of Central Texas provides a proven “ecosystem of support” by placing dedicated program managers directly on campuses to provide case management, crisis intervention, and academic guidance; and WHEREAS, the support provided by CIS has been shown to empower young girls by improving attendance, graduation rates, and self-efficacy, thereby reducing their long-term involvement with public assistance systems; and WHEREAS, the City of Austin is committed to a Racial Equity Plan that seeks to eliminate disparities in outcomes for all residents, with education being a primary driver of such equity. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Commission recommends the Austin City Council allocate funding—specifically as part of the Social Services budget—to Communities In Schools of Central Texas to sustain and expand its campus-based services. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that funding be prioritized for Communities In Schools of Central Texas ensuring they have the mental health and academic resources necessary to achieve economic independence and long-term success.

Item 4. Draft Recommendation SAFE Alliance Eloise House — original pdf
RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL Commission For Women Recommendation Number: [YYYYMMDD-XXX]: Funding for SAFE Alliance Eloise House and Shelters Date of Approval: Recommendation: The City of Austin Commission for Women urges City Council to provide emergency funding to keep the forensic exam program running at Eloise House and to right-size funding for SAFE shelters (increasing the current grant by $200,000). Rationale: Eloise House provides 95% of forensic exams in Travis County, a critical service for survivors and public safety, and is slated to close June 8th due to funding cuts. The trauma-informed care SAFE provides is nationally and internationally recognized. Quickly kicking these services to the overstrained Emergency Rooms with unspecialized staff and 5 or 10 hour wait times is not an appropriate substitute and will undoubtedly lead to less reporting, on top of the underreporting we know happens in sexual assault cases. Austin does not have enough shelter beds and SAFE is currently expanding services to assist with this gap. The community shelters that will close in October without increased funding support currently house about 88 children and 35 adults, all of whom are in imminent threat of serious harm, including murder. Closing the existing community shelters will leave these children and adults with nowhere to go. Survivors also have a statutory right to victim advocates. No one else provides them at the scale that SAFE currently does. Reduced funding for SAFE’s programs will result in higher crisis costs across public systems: emergency rooms, courts and jails, law enforcement, child welfare, homelessness systems, schools, crisis mental health. SAFE estimates that every dollar invested prevents $4 in downstream costs. The most fiscally responsible AND humane course of action is to invest in safety, survivor support, and homicide prevention by renewing and right-sizing the City’s financial support of SAFE programs.

BASIS FOR STAFF’S RECOMMENDATION: Staff supports the applicant’s request for Neighborhood Mixed Use land use because it is appropriate in this location near single family uses. The applicant proposes to rezone the property to LO-NP (Limited Office district – Neighborhood Plan) for an office use, which is a low-intensity commercial use. Navasota Street provides a local connection between three commercial corridors, Rosewood Avenue, East 11th Street, and East 12th Street. Neighborhood Mixed Use recognizes the role Navasota Street already plays in connecting residential and commercial areas and provides an opportunity for appropriately scaled neighborhood-serving uses. Site Below are sections of the Central East Austin Neighborhood Plan that staff believe supports the applicant’s request for Neighborhood Mixed Use land use. The plan supports neighborhood-serving commercial uses on commercial corridors. Although Navasota Street is not a commercial corridor, it essentially serves as a connector between three major commercial corridors. Staff believes a low-intensity neighborhood office use is appropriate in this location. 2 04 NPA-2026-0009.01 - Wesley Relocation Project; District 12 of 21 Planning Commission: August 25, 2026 LAND USE DESCRIPTIONS: EXISTING LAND USE: Single family - Single family detached or up to three residential uses at typical urban and/or suburban densities.

The conditional overlay would prohibit the following 5 uses: - Bed and Breakfast (Group 1) - Bed and Breakfast (Group 2) - Medical Offices exceeding 5,000 square feet gross floor area - Medical Offices not exceeding 5,000 square feet gross floor area - Club or Lodge For a summary of the basis of Staff’s recommendation, please see the basis of recommendation section below. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: August 25, 2026: Case is scheduled to be heard by Planning Commission. CITY COUNCIL ACTION: TBD ORDINANCE NUMBER: N/A ISSUES: N/A CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The property in question is currently undeveloped land located at the southeast corner of Navasota Street and Cotton Street. It is proximate to two Imagine Austin Corridors, East 11th and East 12th Street, transit service, and other examples of limited office (LO) base district zoning. LO is a zoning category for an office use that serves neighborhood or community needs and that is located in or adjacent to residential neighborhoods. 05 C14-2026-0028 - Wesley Property Donation; District 11 of 11 C14-2026-0028 2 To the north of the subject tract (across Cotton Street) is one single family home constructed in approximately 2014. To the east is one single family home constructed in approximately 1950. To the south is one single family home constructed recently. To the west (across Navasota Street) are two single family homes constructed in approximately 1909 and 2024. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: Zoning should allow for reasonable use of the property. The subject tract is located on Navasota Street, which is an ASMP level 2 corridor, the same level as East 11th and 12th Street and Rosewood Avenue. It is approximately 500 feet south of East 12th Street which is an Imagine Austin Activity Corridor and approximately 600 feet north of East 11th Street which is an Imagine Austin Activity Corridor and part of the ASMP Transit Priority Network. Given this context, small scale neighborhood office reasonably supports Imagine Austin and goals for more walkable neighborhoods where daily needs can be met without traveling long distances. …
