6 Support for the Unhoused
Amended at April 21 Council
Meeting
Councilmember Proposal
Formulate a City plan to leverage County resources and
advocate for funding to address the issue of the
unhoused and how to provide services in as effective a
manner as possible with the resources available. A
specific plan would be generated which includes
consideration and recommendations for:
- Work with the County and relevant agencies to
promote facility development with supportive services.

With non-profit organization partnership, assist the
County to identify space and a plan for supportive
space with an ultimate aim to provide a pathway to
permanent sustained housing would be made.
- Funding strategy. This would require significant
resources, but the social costs of not addressing this
growing issue are more significant. With grant money
and possible private partnerships available, the
deliverable here would be to provide the City, in
partnership with the County, with actionable
recommendations for securing financial support for this program.
- Make significant attempt to align with the SCC
roadmap

11 Student Internship Program
Councilmember Proposal
Implement a trial student summer internship program
with the City of Cupertino. Initial year will be on a limited basis. If approved, applications will be sought for one-, two- or three-week internships during the summer, with
applications to be released in mid-July. Internships will be project-focused, with participating City departments asked to identify a specific project or projects that a student intern can undertake. The internships will have a common start date, and include an orientation, group
activities and exit interviews.

Alternatively, if the time and resources do not permit the City to run a trial program in the upcoming summer of
the fiscal year (i.e., Summer 2022), Council may form a subcommittee to share practices for student internships, and to bring a report back to Council at the end of
Summer 2022 with recommendations as part of the
initiation of a student internship program in Summer
2023.
