Why Your Voice Matters 

The City of Austin wants to hear from you. Community input has a direct impact on City priorities—49% of the JIC member commissions’ budget recommendations for FY24–25 contributed to the funding of critical programs based on feedback from past townhalls.  

Examples include: 

• College Access Programs through Austin Economic Development  

• Mental health care support through Austin Public Health  

• Additional staff for Austin Parks and Recreation  

Your participation helps ensure that future recommendations reflect community priorities.
