Join the Joint Inclusion Committee Workgroup for a Community Input Session
Share Your Input on Recommendations for the City of Austin’s 2026-2027 Budget
Residents are invited to attend a virtual community input session to share their priorities and ideas for the City of Austin’s 2026–2027 budget. Each year, the City of Austin’s Quality of Life Commissions provide funding recommendations to City Council. This year’s session will take place on Tuesday, January 21, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. and is hosted by the Joint Inclusion Committee (JIC) Budget Workgroup.
Community participation in these sessions has a direct impact on what the JIC recommends to City Council. In the fiscal year 2024–2025, nearly half of the JIC member commissions’ recommendations resulted in maintaining or increasing funding for critical programs—such as College Access Programs at Austin Economic Development, Mental Health Care Support at Austin Public Health, and additional staff for Austin Parks and Recreation.
