 Let $P$ be some $k$-dimensional polyhedron and $f:P\to \Homeo(X)$.

 The sense of ``small" we mean will be explained below.
 It depends only on $\cU$ and some auxiliary covers.

+We may assume, inductively, that the restriction of $f$ to $\bd P$ is adapted to $\cU$.

+Since $X$ is compact, we may assume without loss of generality that the cover $\cU$ is finite.
+Let $\cU = \{U_\alpha\}$, $1\le \alpha\le N$.
 
+We will need some wiggle room, so for each $\alpha$ choose open sets
+\[
+	U_\alpha = U_\alpha^0 \supset U_\alpha^1 \supset \cdots \supset U_\alpha^N

+so that for each fixed $i$ the sets $\{U_\alpha^i\}$ are an open cover of $X$, and also so that

+Theorem 5.1 of \cite{MR0283802}, applied $N$ times, allows us
+to choose a homotopy $h:P\times [0,N] \to \Homeo(X)$ with the following properties:
+\begin{itemize}
+\item $h(p, 0) = f(p)$ for all $p\in P$.
+\item The restriction of $h(p, i)$ to $U_0^i \cup \cdots \cup U_i^i$ is equal to the homeomorphism $g$,
+for all $p\in P$.
+\item For each fixed $p\in P$, the family of homeomorphisms $h(p, [i-1, i])$ is supported on $U_i^{i-1}$
+(and hence supported on $U_i$).

+To apply Theorem 5.1 of \cite{MR0283802}, the family $f(P)$ must be sufficiently small,

+By reparametrizing, we can view $h$ as a homotopy (rel boundary) from $h(\cdot,0) = f: P\to\Homeo(X)$
+to the family
+\[
+	h(\bd(P\times [0,N]) \setmin P\times \{0\}) = h(\bd P \times [0,N]) \cup h(P \times \{N\}) .
+\]
+We claim that the latter family of homeomorphisms is adapted to $\cU$.
+By the second bullet above, $h(P\times \{N\})$ is the constant family $g$, and is therefore supported on the empty set.
+Via an inductive assumption and a preliminary homotopy, we have arranged above that $f(\bd P)$ is
+adapted to $\cU$, which means that $\bd P = \cup_j Q_j$ with $f(Q_j)$ supported on the union of $k-1$
+of the $U_\alpha$'s for each $j$.
+It follows (using the third bullet above) that $h(Q_j \times [i-1,i])$ is supported on the union of $k$ 
+of the $U_\alpha$'s, specifically, the support of $f(Q_j)$ union $U_i$.
