6. 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.
Action: The Cupertino Housing Commission recommends the City Council approve the amended
Annual Plan detailing the transfer of funds from the Rotating Shelter to the Haven to Home program.
