INFRASTRUCTURE

Our staff totaled 154 at the end of 2014, our largest size ever! Every program at Swords to Plowshares saw

expansions of services and increases in staffing. Our ability to reach veterans has never been stronger and

our services and programs are more comprehensive than ever before.

In 1974, we started with a single grant and a small location on Valencia Street. Now, 40 years later with

an annual budget of over $12 million, seven housing sites, and two Drop-in Centers we are still doing

the same thing we set out to do—heal the wounds of war, restore dignity, hope and self- sufficiency to all

veterans in need, and end homelessness among veterans.

The generosity and dedication of our donors, past and present, inspire and support our work in the community. Together, we continue to profoundly and positively impact the lives of so many veterans.

2014 A Year in ReviewComprehensive Services for Veterans

SUPPORTIVE HOUSING

Swords to Plowshares housing efforts contributed to an astounding 20% reduction in veteran homeless-

ness in San Francisco—from an estimated 919 homeless veterans in 2011 to 720 homeless veterans in

2014—a significant step toward ending veteran homelessness in San Francisco and nationally as part of

the VA’s 5-year plan. The opening of 250 Kearny brought Swords housing capacity to 474 units in 2014; a

61% increase from 2013 and our largest capacity to date. Permanent supportive housing sites, such as the

Veterans Commons, Veterans Academy and Chinook Family Housing have a 98.8% retention rate among

our residents.

KEY FUNDERS: Department of Veterans Affairs, Housing and Urban Development,

Lennar Charitable Housing Foundation

HEALTH & SOCIAL SERVICES

Swords to Plowshares’ Health and Social Services (HSS) case managers in our Frontline Drop-in Center

provide outreach and critical care to help homeless and low-income veterans improve their health and

wellness while they work on long-term goals to build their stability. Our Drop-in Center is the gateway to

our continuum of care, the holistic model upon which our service delivery is based. The Drop-in Center saw

an average of 40 daily visits with 88% of our HSS participants receiving wrap-around counseling and case

management. Once a veteran’s housing is stabilized, many receive money management services, career

training and job placement assistance. Last year 140 veterans utilized these services that helped ensure

housing retention and long-term economic stability for themselves and their families.

KEY FUNDERS: Department of Veterans Affairs, City and County of San Francisco

EMPLOYMENT & JOB TRAINING

Swords to Plowshares’ employment and training program provides job placement assistance and

vocational training programs to help veterans translate their military skills and train for high-wage, high-

growth civilian careers. Our organization has provided Bay Area veterans with employment assistance

since 1974. In 2014, we further expanded services in the East Bay and opened a new Oakland Drop-in

Center to better serve the large and growing population of East Bay veterans and their families.

KEY FUNDERS: Department of Labor, JP Morgan Chase, Wells Fargo, Y&H Soda Foundation

INSTITUTE FOR VETERAN POLICY

The Institute for Veteran Policy (IVP) focuses on community education, policy and research on the needs

of returning veterans. IVP’s well-received Combat to Community veteran cultural competency training

is customized for law enforcement, first responders, hiring managers, human resources professionals,

behavioral health clinicians and direct service providers. The targeted trainings provide information on

veteran culture, service-related mental health conditions, issues facing under-represented veterans,

stability and economic issues, as well as supporting and valuing veterans in the civilian workplace.

Additionally, through the Women Veterans Program, we are continually working to improve our

programs and the system of care to meet the needs of the women who have served. Concluding its first

program year, the Women Veterans Professional Network engaged 87 women in 2014; 50% found full-time

employment within four months.

KEY FUNDERS: Walmart Foundation, Prudential Foundation, The California Wellness Foundation

SUPPORTIVE SERVICES FOR VETERAN FAMILIES

Our VA-funded Supportive Services for Veterans Families (SSVF) program provides rapid re-housing

assistance, eviction prevention, and housing-related financial assistance and support services to in-

crease veterans’ housing stability. In 2014, we concluded the first year of the SSVF program expansion

to the East Bay to serve homeless and at-risk veteran families in Alameda and Contra Costa counties.

Case managers and housing placement specialists helped nearly 900 veteran families obtain or retain

permanent housing last year with a housing retention rate of 98%.

KEY FUNDERS: Department of Veterans Affairs

LEGAL SERVICES

In 2014, Swords’ legal program provided 732 veterans with expert legal benefits assistance—the highest

number of clients served by this program in our 40-year history. A thriving Pro Bono Program comprised

of 150 volunteer attorneys and the establishment of the Pro Bono Advisory Board helped us to serve 40%

more veterans this year than in 2013. Staff attorneys secured more than $8.5 million in total retroactive

and on-going monthly disability benefits from the VA for our clients, as well as life-long access to VA

healthcare. Swords to Plowshares is one of the very few organizations in the country that provides these

specialized legal services free of charge, including representation by an attorney, to help homeless and

low-income disabled veterans increase their health and financial stability.

When Their Service Ends, Ours Begins...OUR MISSION

War causes wounds and suffering that last beyond the battlefield. Swords to Plowshares’

mission is to heal the wounds, to restore dignity, hope, and self-sufficiency to all veterans

in need, and to prevent and end homelessness and poverty among veterans.

Founded in 1974, Swords to Plowshares is a community-based not-for-profit organization

that provides counseling and case management, employment and training, housing, and

legal assistance to veterans in the San Francisco Bay Area. We promote and protect the rights

of veterans through advocacy, public education and partnerships with local, state and

national entities.

OUR VISION

All veterans will have access to the care and services they need to rebuild their lives.

OUR MODEL

Our model of care is based on the philosophy that the obstacles veterans face—

including homelessness, unemployment and disability—are interrelated and require an

integrated network of support within the community and continuum of care.

crease veterans’ housing stability. In 2014, we concluded the first year of the SSVF program expansion

to the East Bay to serve homeless and at-risk veteran families in Alameda and Contra Costa counties.

Case managers and housing placement specialists helped nearly 900 veteran families obtain or retain

permanent housing last year with a housing retention rate of 98%.

LEGAL SERVICES

In 2014, Swords’ legal program provided 732 veterans with expert legal benefits assistance—the highest

number of clients served by this program in our 40-year history. A thriving Pro Bono Program comprised

of 150 volunteer attorneys and the establishment of the Pro Bono Advisory Board helped us to serve 40%

more veterans this year than in 2013. Staff attorneys secured more than $8.5 million in total retroactive

and on-going monthly disability benefits from the VA for our clients, as well as life-long access to VA

healthcare. Swords to Plowshares is one of the very few organizations in the country that provides these

specialized legal services free of charge, including representation by an attorney, to help homeless and

low-income disabled veterans increase their health and financial stability.

SUPPORTIVE HOUSING

Swords to Plowshares housing efforts contributed to an astounding 20% reduction in veteran homeless-

ness in San Francisco—from an estimated 919 homeless veterans in 2011 to 720 homeless veterans in

2014—a significant step toward ending veteran homelessness in San Francisco and nationally as part of

the VA’s 5-year plan. The opening of 250 Kearny brought Swords housing capacity to 474 units in 2014; a

61% increase from 2013 and our largest capacity to date. Permanent supportive housing sites, such as the

Veterans Commons, Veterans Academy and Chinook Family Housing have a 98.8% retention rate among

Swords to Plowshares housing efforts contributed to an astounding 20% reduction in veteran homeless-

ness in San Francisco—from an estimated 919 homeless veterans in 2011 to 720 homeless veterans in

2014—a significant step toward ending veteran homelessness in San Francisco and nationally as part of

the VA’s 5-year plan. The opening of 250 Kearny brought Swords housing capacity to 474 units in 2014; a

61% increase from 2013 and our largest capacity to date. Permanent supportive housing sites, such as the

Veterans Commons, Veterans Academy and Chinook Family Housing have a 98.8% retention rate among

our residents.

Lennar Charitable Housing Foundation

HEALTH & SOCIAL SERVICES

Swords to Plowshares’ Health and Social Services (HSS) case managers in our Frontline Drop-in Center

provide outreach and critical care to help homeless and low-income veterans improve their health and

wellness while they work on long-term goals to build their stability. Our Drop-in Center is the gateway to

our continuum of care, the holistic model upon which our service delivery is based. The Drop-in Center saw

an average of 40 daily visits with 88% of our HSS participants receiving wrap-around counseling and case

management. Once a veteran’s housing is stabilized, many receive money management services, career

training and job placement assistance. Last year 140 veterans utilized these services that helped ensure

housing retention and long-term economic stability for themselves and their families.

KEY FUNDERS: Department of Veterans Affairs, City and County of San Francisco

EMPLOYMENT & JOB TRAINING

Swords to Plowshares’ employment and training program provides job placement assistance and

vocational training programs to help veterans translate their military skills and train for high-wage, high-

growth civilian careers. Our organization has provided Bay Area veterans with employment assistance

since 1974. In 2014, we further expanded services in the East Bay and opened a new Oakland Drop-in

Center to better serve the large and growing population of East Bay veterans and their families.

KEY FUNDERS: Department of Labor, JP Morgan Chase, Wells Fargo, Y&H Soda Foundation

INSTITUTE FOR VETERAN POLICY

The Institute for Veteran Policy (IVP) focuses on community education, policy and research on the needs

of returning veterans. IVP’s well-received Combat to Community veteran cultural competency training

is customized for law enforcement, first responders, hiring managers, human resources professionals,

behavioral health clinicians and direct service providers. The targeted trainings provide information on

veteran culture, service-related mental health conditions, issues facing under-represented veterans,

stability and economic issues, as well as supporting and valuing veterans in the civilian workplace.

Additionally, through the Women Veterans Program, we are continually working to improve our

programs and the system of care to meet the needs of the women who have served. Concluding its first

program year, the Women Veterans Professional Network engaged 87 women in 2014; 50% found full-time

employment within four months.

KEY FUNDERS: Walmart Foundation, Prudential Foundation, The California Wellness Foundation

SUPPORTIVE SERVICES FOR VETERAN FAMILIES

Our VA-funded Supportive Services for Veterans Families (SSVF) program provides rapid re-housing

assistance, eviction prevention, and housing-related financial assistance and support services to in-

crease veterans’ housing stability. In 2014, we concluded the first year of the SSVF program expansion

to the East Bay to serve homeless and at-risk veteran families in Alameda and Contra Costa counties.

Case managers and housing placement specialists helped nearly 900 veteran families obtain or retain

permanent housing last year with a housing retention rate of 98%.

KEY FUNDERS: Department of Veterans Affairs

LEGAL SERVICES

In 2014, Swords’ legal program provided 732 veterans with expert legal benefits assistance—the highest

number of clients served by this program in our 40-year history. A thriving Pro Bono Program comprised

of 150 volunteer attorneys and the establishment of the Pro Bono Advisory Board helped us to serve 40%

more veterans this year than in 2013. Staff attorneys secured more than $8.5 million in total retroactive

and on-going monthly disability benefits from the VA for our clients, as well as life-long access to VA

healthcare. Swords to Plowshares is one of the very few organizations in the country that provides these

specialized legal services free of charge, including representation by an attorney, to help homeless and

low-income disabled veterans increase their health and financial stability.

When Their Service Ends, Ours Begins...OUR MISSION

War causes wounds and suffering that last beyond the battlefield. Swords to Plowshares’

mission is to heal the wounds, to restore dignity, hope, and self-sufficiency to all veterans

in need, and to prevent and end homelessness and poverty among veterans.

Founded in 1974, Swords to Plowshares is a community-based not-for-profit organization

that provides counseling and case management, employment and training, housing, and

legal assistance to veterans in the San Francisco Bay Area. We promote and protect the rights

of veterans through advocacy, public education and partnerships with local, state and

national entities.

OUR VISION

All veterans will have access to the care and services they need to rebuild their lives.

OUR MODEL

Our model of care is based on the philosophy that the obstacles veterans face—

including homelessness, unemployment and disability—are interrelated and require an

integrated network of support within the community and continuum of care.

INFRASTRUCTURE

Our staff totaled 154 at the end of 2014, our largest size ever! Every program at Swords to Plowshares saw

expansions of services and increases in staffing. Our ability to reach veterans has never been stronger and

our services and programs are more comprehensive than ever before.

In 1974, we started with a single grant and a small location on Valencia Street. Now, 40 years later with

an annual budget of over $12 million, seven housing sites, and two Drop-in Centers we are still doing

the same thing we set out to do—heal the wounds of war, restore dignity, hope and self- sufficiency to all

veterans in need, and end homelessness among veterans.

The generosity and dedication of our donors, past and present, inspire and support our work in the community. Together, we continue to profoundly and positively impact the lives of so many veterans.

INFRASTRUCTURE

Our staff totaled 154 at the end of 2014, our largest size ever! Every program at Swords to Plowshares saw

expansions of services and increases in staffing. Our ability to reach veterans has never been stronger and

our services and programs are more comprehensive than ever before.

In 1974, we started with a single grant and a small location on Valencia Street. Now, 40 years later with

an annual budget of over $12 million, seven housing sites, and two Drop-in Centers we are still doing

the same thing we set out to do—heal the wounds of war, restore dignity, hope and self- sufficiency to all

veterans in need, and end homelessness among veterans.

The generosity and dedication of our donors, past and present, inspire and support our work in the community. Together, we continue to profoundly and positively impact the lives of so many veterans.
