Swords to Plowshares & Veterans Community Center - San Francisco, California

They recently opened the vet center up stairs with the relaxation of the warrior in mind it's a place to escape the chaos both within and around us. It's a nice oasis in this chaotic world. The staff is a blessing to the vet.

Services include meals, snacks, mail, counseling, and many needed resources the warrior may need.

There's a pool table, tv, music room, meditation room, phone charger stations, and restrooms.

It's on 3rd floor and is accessable by stairs and elevator.

I visit daily and am grateful for it existence.

If your a vet and haven't been here for a visit please come be with a few soldiers that may need your presence and get some needed help.

Army proud...

If you are a veteran please DO NOT use this place as a resource for legals matters. They are willfully obtuse, do not return phone calls, reply to emails and lack boundaries when it comes to sharing personal information with 3rd parties. AS veterans we deserve better. Please start at your local vet centers for services. "You've been warned!!"

There are volunteer opportunities in this place. It seems there are lots of resources for the veterans. It’s nearby to the park as well.

Check out for volunteer opportunities here.

This place has basically helped to ruin my life. After an apartment fire and losing everything they messed up my paperwork for housing authority and apartment and today lost my ID so now I can't even apply at apartments. The sro they put me in is a closet and roach motel. I only today got a food box in 3 months. Apartment VA and this place seems to be collaborating. I'll be walking out this sro losing everything for a third time. I've been diagnosed with 2 immune disease and severe mental health issues and I haven't even got a case worker. Security deposit was used for a other month which is now screwed be cause I have no ID. No incomen
No food and off meds. No idea what il do but probably won't make it long. Story on YouTube at cloudy the immortal I guess I'm giving up on finding an apartment and everything because it's clear they are trying to run me off because of what has happened and coverups. I give up. They win. Thanks for wasting 2 years of my life a d ruining everything I worked for.thid is insane and I don't deserve this. I'll e pushing a cart soon with no help. No way I can afford deposit or fees so my voucher is useless

I was very thankful for this organization when I first moved to San Francisco, the representative that I worked with in VASH eddy was very helpful throughout my process. I applied for VASH and they agreed to offer rent assistance for 1 year with re-qualification every three months. I’m 7 months in and the last time I spoke with a supervisor he said they fired eddy and I no longer qualify for the program with my income, which has skyrocketed my anxiety and depression I haven’t slept in a week. The delivery was no good either, the supervisor I spoke with had no compassion or any understanding whatsoever. Then I tried to speak to someone over him and the phone call I made to the program director ended in me receiving a grievance form via email from the same supervisor I wanted not to speak to.

Truly an amazing organization, with the resources, experience, and compassion that our homeless, disabled, or disadvantaged veterans need, in order to reclaim a life of dignity, self respect, and pride that so many of us are in desperate need of.
If you're a veteran, and having any sort of issue that you feel would be best served with the assistance of an advocate, then don't waste time. Get with Swords to Plowshares right away. You'll be glad you did 💜

Veteran who need help with housing or homeless needs are served fairly well. They have sandwiches for lunch every M-F. If you need legal assistance or a valid mailing address to receive mail. Although it sometimes takes a little while to get everything done. You will need a Soc. Sec. Card, valid ID and DD214 to register with them. Keep that in mind. They can also help modify discharge status from Other Than Honerable" to get VA services. If it's possible to change, they can do it.
