Cupertino City is going to host a Community Kick-off Meeting on Homelessness on Thursday, Febuary 10th, from 6pm to 7:30pm. The City wants to hear residents’ ideas to help draft a City Plan to End Homelessness. This virtual community meeting will help to create a roadmap that will help guide the City. Decision on this issue may affect our daily life. So, please make sure your voice heard!

Provide Inputs on Housing Element
There are several ways to provide inputs on Cupertino City Housing Element.
1) Get to the Housing Element page on city website and scroll down this page to the Housing Simulator tool and mark the areas of Cupertino where you think there should be housing.
For example: As of the last Planning Commission Meeting Study Session, 7 people used the tool and targeted North and South Blaney neighborhoods as needing the most higher density. If this trend keeps on going, there is the potential that the city could UPZONE (increase the allowable density) of these areas. So, please don’t forget to speak up.
2) apply to be part of the task force that provides input/reviews information.
3) attend and/or send emails when they have a Housing Element meeting.
You CAN make a difference but only if you try! Get your neighbors and friends to do it, too, to make your voices louder. We need to work together to make our city better in future!
