Austin’s city budget reflects months of hard work, tough conversations, and difficult choices.

We want to recognize the members of the Austin City Council and their staffs who worked tirelessly to help shape a budget that continues to recognize the importance of social services and support for our unhoused neighbors and families.

Budgets are never easy. There are competing priorities, limited resources, and decisions that affect real people across our community. Maintaining critical social service funding is more than a budget decision—it is an investment in the health, stability, and future of Austin and the people who call this city home.

Thank you to the Council members, their teams, City staff, service providers, advocates, and community members who put in the work to make sure these essential services remained part of Austin’s commitment to its residents.

Supporting our neighbors strengthens our entire city.
