NEW BUSINESS Revision to Cupertino CDBG Annual Plan to reprogram funding from WVCS Rotating Shelter program to WVCS Haven to Home Program. Sujatha Venkatraman, program manager for WVCS, spoke about the necessity to eliminate the Rotating Shelter program due to the decrease in funding from the City of San Jose. WVCS does want to continue to provide services to the homeless and would like to request the money be transferred to a new program entitled Haven to Home. The program will provide voicemail, showers, job services and counseling to the homeless. In order to facilitate the transfer of the CDBG funds from one activity to another, the City must amend the Annual Action Plan which was submitted to HUD in May. This requires a public hearing, a 30 day public comment period and submittal of the amended plan to HUD for final review.
