Dear Friends & Supporters,
Housing is essential to our mission of ending poverty and homelessness among veterans, but the availability of affordable housing in the San Francisco Bay Area is scarce. This scarcity is well-known and has created numerous challenges in trying to end veteran homeless. Over the last six years, we have made tremendous strides and have housed more than 40 percent of all homeless veterans in San Francisco. This reduction has occurred while the city has grappled with a 23 percent overall increase in homelessness.
At any given time, we have the capacity to house 441 veterans. With a new housing site in Mission Bay, we will be able to house another 62 veterans and 56 families. We are proud to announce that we will be breaking ground on our eighth housing site in Mission Bay on November 21st. Most of the veterans who reside with us are seniors who earn less and are typically more disabled than non-veterans of similar age and situation. However, we recognize that veterans with histories of chronic
homelessness have unique needs and require wrap-around care. Under this model, we work to foster a community that is supportive and engaged, providing veterans with access to resources they need to become self-sufficient.
The path to self-sufficiency starts with housing but as you will find out, it does not end there. This path can include mental health or substance abuse counseling, support groups, educational programs, workshops, and engaging in a wide array of community activities. In this issue, we have featured community activities to show our supporters an inside look at our residents’ lives and how these activities are an essential part of their reintegration to society. We have also featured volunteer engagement activities that have helped give us the opportunity to beautify the housing sites where our veterans live.
Swords to Plowshares has operated successful housing programs since 1987 and will continue to work to end poverty and homelessness among veterans. Please join us in our mission to end veteran homelessness by speaking with your local representative voicing your support for more housing for veterans and sharing any news and events about us online to help us generate awareness about our cause.
Thank you,
Michael Blecker

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

cargo trailers into small, portable
homes.
20. LIBERTY HOMES
PROJECT
Beginning in early April 2015,
Executive Director Keith Howard
began a field test of the project,
documenting the transformation of the
trailer and his life in it on the Liberty
House website.
Keith will continue to live in the home
for one year to demonstrate
reproducibility for future trailer
transformations for residents.
21. LIBERTY HOMES
PROJECT
The Liberty Homes Project will offer
residents of the Liberty House the
opportunity to earn affordable and
sustainable housing through sweat
equity, their own money, and
community donations.
Residents who have worked 200
hours on a trailer transformation would
be awarded their own cargo trailer to
transform with the help of other
residents, current and former,
contributing to an ongoing and positive
community.Resident Alumnus Dan
