TOP 5 NEEDS: Housing; Basic Needs; Employment; Health; Income Community Services Block Grant 2026 Contract Programmatic/Financial Report July 14th, 2026 The Community Services Block Grant funds the delivery of services to low-income Texas residents in all 254 counties. These funds support a variety of direct services in addition to helping maintain the core administrative elements of community action agencies. For the City of Austin, the grant provides funding for the delivery of basic needs, case management, preventive health and employment support services through the City’s seven (7) Neighborhood Centers. Mission: The Neighborhood Services Unit aims to improve the lives and health of people experiencing poverty by providing public health and social services and connecting residents of Austin and Travis County to community resources. ◼ Basic Needs (food, clothing, information and referral, notary services, transportation, car safety education and car seats, tax preparation, fans, Thanksgiving food baskets and other seasonal activities); ◼ Preventive Health (screenings for blood pressure, blood sugar including a1C, and cholesterol; pregnancy testing; health promotion presentations, coordination and participation in health fairs, immunizations, coordination of wellness activities, linkages to medical home providers and diabetes case management); ◼ Case Management (individual/family support counseling, advocacy, self-sufficiency case management, crisis intervention, linkages with employers, educational opportunities and training, and working with individuals on quality-of-life issues); ◼ Employment Support (intake, assessment and goal setting, job readiness training, job placement assistance, and job retention services) Expenditures Categories Personnel Fringe Benefits Other Total 2026 Contract Budget $ $ $ $855,640 Cumulative Expenditures through 5/30/26 $270,866.98 $157,429.35 $ $428,296.33 Percent of Total 50% 1 Neighborhood Services Unit Success Stories A patient, who was a minor, and her mother presented to an Austin Public Health’s Neighborhood Center requesting a pregnancy test. The result was positive, triggering immediate medical, legal, educational, and language-access interventions. Mandatory reporting procedures were followed and Austin Public Health coordinated a multi-agency meeting with Child Protective Services (CPS), Austin Police Department, the patient’s family, and interpreters (to ensure safety and understanding). Initial prenatal coordination included scheduling the first OB appointment, providing prenatal vitamins, completing a CHIP intake, and supplying educational materials. However, repeated missed appointments revealed deeper barriers: the family’s primary language was an Indigenous Maya language rather than Spanish and the patient’s mother was unable to read or write.

Community Development Commission Quarterly Report Commission Mission Advise the council in the development and implementation of programs designed to serve the poor and the community at large with emphasis on federally funded programs. Section 2-1-128 of the City Code. Current Alignment with the Commission Mission and Opportunities to Collaborate Throughout the reporting period, the Community Development Commission carried out its advisory role by reviewing housing and community development programs, evaluating federally funded initiatives, and providing policy recommendations to City Council. The Commission's work emphasized affordable housing, housing stability, rental assistance, permanent supportive housing, community development investments, and oversight of federally funded programs, consistent with its responsibilities under City Code. Given the Commission’s focus on community development, equity, housing stability, and federally funded programs, there are opportunities for continued collaboration with the Joint Inclusion Commission and other quality-of-life commissions whose work also intersects with the needs of historically impacted communities. Approved Recommendations: The Community Development Commission approved and forwarded the following recommendations to Austin City Council: • Recommendation Number: (20250909-7) Reopen the ADCAP Application to coincide with the beginning of the Fiscal Year 2026 • Recommendation No. 20260310-007 – FY 2026–2027 Budget Recommendations • Recommendation No. 20260414-005 – Acquisition of the Montopolis-Fairway Property • Recommendation No. 20260414-006 – Rental Assistance Program Recommendations • Recommendation No. 20260609-006 – Preservation of Local Housing Voucher Funding for Permanent Supportive Housing Residents Through these recommendations, the Commission provided input on budget priorities, housing affordability, rental assistance, and the preservation of critical housing resources for Austin residents. All recommendations were closely aligned with the Commission’s mission, as they addressed the needs of low-income residents and the community at large. Mission-Related Activities Beyond Formal Recommendations The Commission advanced its mission through ongoing policy discussions, oversight activities, and strategic alignment around shared priorities. These activities included discussions related to housing and community development, federal program oversight, CAPER review, Community Development Block Grant monitoring, performance measurement, demographic and geographic reporting, and accountability for federally funded programs. Commission Retreat and Priority Areas At the April 2026 Commission Retreat, commissioners discussed shared priorities and reached consensus on several focus areas to guide the Commission’s future work. Housing stability emerged as the Commission’s primary policy focus, including affordable housing development, displacement prevention, rental assistance, housing affordability, housing access, and increased support for households with the greatest housing needs. Commissioners also identified community health and human services, infrastructure and transportation, digital equity, and …
RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL Hispanic/Latino Quality of Life Resource Advisory Commission Recommendation Number: 20260604-002: Emergency Budget Recommendation for SAFE Alliance - Eloise House Date of Approval: June 4, 2026 Recommendation: The Hispanic/Latino Quality of Life Resource Advisory Commission recommends that the Austin City Council and the Mayor’s Office, in partnership with Travis County allocate a minimum of $430,000 in funding to preserve Eloise House as a community-based, non-hospital forensic exam and advocacy center operated by SAFE Alliance from June 9 through September 30, 2026, and $200,000 to keep the SAFE domestic violence shelter open from October 2026 through October 2027. The Commission further recommends that the City commit to a sustainable, multi-year funding strategy that ensures continuity of SAFE’s full wraparound model without displacement into hospital settings. Services include: ● Forensic exams ● Trauma-informed advocacy ● Shelter ● Legal services ● Culturally responsive care Finally, the Commission calls on the Austin City Council to immediately pause the Mayor’s proposed transition of forensic nursing services to hospital systems and BRAVE Alliance, and to require a meaningful community input process that centers survivors, advocates, and the communities most impacted before any transition moves forward. A press release is not a plan. Survivors and the organizations that serve them deserve a seat at the table before services that took decades to build are dismantled in weeks. Description of Recommendation to Council: Eloise House, operated by SAFE Alliance, is the only non-hospital forensic exam facility in Austin. It provides sexual assault forensic exams and rape kits at no cost to survivors, in a setting purporse built for: ● Trauma-informed care ● Outside the emergency room ● Free from billing ● Staffed by advocates who remain with survivors throughout the process The Mayor’s May 5, 2026 announcement proposed transitioning forensic nursing services to hospital systems and BRAVE Alliance, a Cedar Park-based organization with no demonstrated capacity at Austin’s scale. This Commission asks Council to reject that transition and instead fund Eloise House directly, preserving the co-located model of exam, advocacy, and wraparound care that has made it the destination of choice for survivors; accounting for 95% of all forensic exams in the region. Funding of at least $630,000 would allow SAFE to sustain approximately 600 forensic exams annually, maintain 24/7 SAFEline access, and continue serving the more than 700 survivors per day who rely on SAFE’s shelter, counseling, legal support, and preservation programming.

DENALI POOLS Board of Adjustment Variance Request 6302 Shadow Valley Drive July 13, 2026 Jacob Rogers, Agent for Denali Pools On behalf of Paul & Heather Fink ITEM04/1-PRESENTATION The Property Lot 28, Highland Hills Section 9, Phase 2 | Zoning: SF-3 Address 6302 Shadow Valley Drive, Austin, TX 78731 Lot Size 13,353 SF Original Pool Built 1976 — predates current Land Development Code Impervious Cover Limit 45% (6,008 SF) under SF-3 zoning Site survey — Hodgkiss Surveying, 11/24/2020 ITEM04/2-PRESENTATION The Pool Is Failing Original 1976 structure — cracked shell, can no longer hold water Structural cracking throughout the pool shell Heaving and separation at the deck joints Chronic water loss — cannot be repaired further Deteriorating stone retaining wall and surrounding hardscape A 50-year-old structure at the end of its serviceable life. ITEM04/3-PRESENTATION Deterioration in Detail Current condition of the pool and deck Algae accumulation, organic debris, and visible wear on the coping and decking are consistent with a shell that has been slowly failing for years and can no longer maintain proper water chemistry. ITEM04/4-PRESENTATION Mature Protected Trees Constrain the Lot Three large Live Oaks limit where a pool can be built Tree #1 — 42.5" Live Oak Tree #2 — 35" Live Oak Tree #6 — 32" Live Oak These are large, established trees — decades old and protected under the City's tree ordinance. Their critical root zones (shown in green) surround the existing pool on three sides, leaving no reasonable alternate location on the lot. ITEM04/5-PRESENTATION Why the Existing Footprint Is the Only Option Two site-specific factors leave no alternative to rebuilding where the pool already sits: 1. Mature protected trees Three large Live Oaks and their root zones occupy most of the remaining usable yard, ruling out relocating the pool elsewhere on the lot. 2. Steep topography The survey shows significant grade change across the lot; the existing pool sits on the one graded, buildable area. Together, these constraints mean the only realistic path forward is to demolish and rebuild in the exact same footprint. ITEM04/6-PRESENTATION What We're Proposing Demolish the failing 1976 pool and rebuild in the exact same footprint. No expansion of the pool or decking No new impervious surface — zero net change in coverage Same location as the pool that has existed since 1976 Modern, code-compliant pool with required safety barriers Pool equipment relocated into the existing garage ITEM04/7-PRESENTATION Impervious Coverage Analysis …

C15-2026-0021 / 2101 Arpdale St George Siddall additional presentation for July 13, 2026, BOA Meeting 1 ITEM05/1-PRESENTATION The house was built in 1950 on an unusually narrow corner lot (about 57 feet wide where most lots are more than 60 feet), which restricts the buildable area. The house was set back only 12 feet from the side street rather than the current requirement of 15 feet, and there is no other location for a driveway. The layout has minimal impervious cover and maximizes space for trees and gardening. Vehicles in the short drive are damaged by sun and acidic discharge and shedding of limbs from the large protected pecan tree next to the drive. 2101 Arpdale, view of driveway on Ann Arbor 2 ITEM05/2-PRESENTATION Most properties in the area are wider and require only a 5-foot side setback, allowing covered parking or awnings at least 12 feet deep alongside the house. Examples are shown in the photos beginning on page 4. In storms in May and June this year, broken tree limbs fell on at least ten properties within a block of 2101 Arpdale. Most of those properties have covered parking 5 feet or less from the side boundary, protecting vehicles from damage. In the case of 2101 Arpdale, strict adherence to the additional side setback denies the owner the reasonable protection of driveway parking that is otherwise code compliant and available to other properties in the area. The presentation submitted at the Board’s hearing on June 8, 2026, and the letter from the Zilker Neighborhood Association contain more information regarding possible code changes that could be relevant to this case. 3 ITEM05/3-PRESENTATION Variance case C15-2026-0021, examples of covered parking near 2102 Arpdale 4 ITEM05/4-PRESENTATION 5 ITEM05/5-PRESENTATION 6 ITEM05/6-PRESENTATION 7 ITEM05/7-PRESENTATION
