Teacher Housing Survey Discussion
Staff presented some preliminary survey results. The survey will formally close on May 15, 2008 and the
final results presented at the June Housing Commission meeting. Initial results appear good, with 1 14
individuals responding. Most of the responses appear to be from DeAnza College and Cupertino Union
School district employees. As expected, the survey results show that the primary obstacle for the school
districts and the City appeazs to be informing employees about the programs.

distributed at the new teacher orientation meetin;~s, a press release at the beginning of the school year
highlighting the programs and a City Channel public service announcement.
Cleo Avenue Proiect Update
Staff met with the Habitat for Humanity staff to discuss finalizing the site plan and the use permit

concentrate on setting up neighborhood meetings and hiring a civil engineer to complete the plans.
