Before the emergence of COVID-19 in 2020, the team consisted of four full-time sworn uniformed staff and a program manager. The Team provided CPR and first aid training, senior home safety fall prevention risk assessments, safety presentations, Safe Baby Academy classes, and a robust Child Passenger Safety Program. However, due to the COVID pandemic and ongoing staffing issues, all uniformed personnel from this valuable team were reassigned to Field Operations in 2020. This staffing void continued for four years until June of 2024 when the Department was able to re-establish the section by adding back two full-time positions to the Injury Prevention team. In June of 2024, the Community Relations and Injury Prevention Team sprang back to life as Captain Darren Noak and Clinical Specialist Dan Brown were assigned as the new Sworn team members and joined the Community Relations and Injury Prevention Manager, Lisa Sepulveda. Darren, Dan, and Lisa hit the ground running. Since then, the team has been working very hard to reinstate many, of the previous programs offered during the former “glory days” of the team. One of the programs offered is our Senior Home Safety Assessments. Elderly falls contribute to a significant …
M E M O R A N D U M TO: Mayor and City Council THROUGH: Jon Fortune, Deputy City Manager FROM: Carrie Rogers, Intergovernmental Relations Officer DATE: February 25, 2025 SUBJECT: Federal Legislative Update / Potential Reductions at the Department of Housing and Urban Development As a follow up to memorandums issued on January 29, 2025, February 11, 2025, and February 17, 2025, the Intergovernmental Relations Office (IGRO), along with partner departments, continues to review federal administration actions relating to direct and discretionary funding awarded to the City of Austin. On Thursday, February 20, 2025, public reports began circulating of a planned 50% reduction in staff across the entire workforce at the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). In some HUD divisions, the cuts could be deeper – up to 84% at HUD’s Office of Community Planning and Development (CPD) – according to reports. Such a drastic reduction would likely have a significant impact on efforts across the nation to address homelessness and make housing more affordable. CPD includes many programs critically important to the City of Austin, such as HOME Investments Partnerships Program (HOME), Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG), Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA), and Continuum of Care (CoC) programming. The City of Austin receives approximately $14 million per year in HUD block grants. An additional $14 million was awarded this January for CoC programs, which primarily support services to address homelessness in Austin through non-profit partners. City of Austin HUD Community Programming Based on the information we have today, and in reviewing the City’s Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) with the Housing Department, the Homeless Strategy Office and Austin Public Health, staff identified the following areas where drastic reductions to HUD personnel and/or a reduction in funding would impact the City of Austin’s community programming: Page 1 of 3 HOME Program ($3,073,266) • HOME provides Tenant Based Rental Assistance to 65 families/individuals experiencing homelessness. The contract is administered through the Housing Authority of the City of Austin (HACA) and coordinated with our Continuum of Care (ECHO). • HOME provides funding for Down Payment Assistance (DPA) for 25 low- to moderate- income homebuyers who are first-time homebuyers. Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) - $7,223,444 • Currently, CDBG funding provides programs or services to more than 14,000 Austinites. • CDBG provides critical mental health services, childcare services, and services to …

Commission on Aging Workgroups Working Groups • Working groups are formed to “consider a defined matter or matters and report its recommendation to the board” (see City Code 2-1-42). They are designed for a specific assignment or project and are always temporary. • An action item on an agenda is needed to establish a working group. The “defined matter” or objective of the working group must be clearly outlined during the vote. • A working group is automatically dissolved after it reports its recommendations to the board. (see City Code 2-1-2) • Should additional projects be identified after a working group is dissolved (reports recommendations), a new working group must be formed. • Working groups may only consist of less than a quorum of members but can include nonmembers such as community stakeholders. • There is no staff support provided for a working group.
