4 mentions across 3 events
Austin Community Court, also known as the Downtown Austin Community Court, is a City of Austin department that operates a problem-solving court handling Class C misdemeanor public order offenses such as public intoxication, disorderly conduct, camping, and solicitation. Alongside adjudication, the court provides case management and connects defendants — many of whom are experiencing homelessness — with community-based social services, including identification recovery, medical and mental health referrals, and personal property storage. It also administers a community service program through which defendants can satisfy court-ordered hours via work such as graffiti abatement and public space maintenance. The department is overseen in part by the Downtown Austin Community Court Advisory Board and appears in City Council proceedings as a requester for interlocal agreements with partner service providers.
