At SWB Delivers
We are not a traditional homeless services provider. While many programs focus on temporary shelter or long-term rent subsidy dependence, SWB Delivers operates from a different starting point: independence is the goal. Housing is the foundation, but our work is about what comes next—financial readiness, emotional resilience, and the tools to thrive.

Real Stories
Behind every donation is a life changed. Hear first hand how SWB Delivers has brought hope, relief, and new beginnings to individuals and families in need.
Meet William
Through our strong partnership with East Bay Asian Local Development Corporation (EBALDC), William was able to secure permanent affordable housing in Oakland in less than six months after beginning services with his SWB Delivers Housing Counselor.
With dedicated case management, housing navigation support, and coordinated placement efforts, William successfully transitioned from housing instability to a safe, stable, and affordable home.
His journey is a reflection of what’s possible when personalized support and community partnerships come together to create real housing outcomes.
Meet Persie
Persie became part of the SWB Delivers family in 2021, entering our Transitional Housing Program in San Francisco during a critical period in his life.
Through consistent engagement, structured support, and compassionate — yet accountable — case management, Persie worked through a series of challenges that ultimately led to a pivotal turning point in his journey.
With coordinated care planning, we were able to transition Persie from our program into residential treatment at Walden House, where he committed himself fully to recovery.
Persie put in the work to rebuild his life and has remained clean and focused on his future ever since.
In April 2023, we proudly supported Persie’s next milestone — placement into permanent affordable housing in Oakland. This achievement was made possible through our valued partnership with The John Stewart Company.
Persie’s story is a powerful example of how housing, recovery support, and community partnerships can come together to create lasting transformation.
Meet Megan
Megan joined Strive Real Estate in April 2023 as an Administrative Assistant in our Corporate Office through the CalWORKs AC Hire workforce program.
At the time, Megan — a devoted mother of four — was experiencing homelessness, living temporarily with her mother while working to rebuild stability for herself and her children.
Through coordinated support with SWB Delivers, Megan began working with our Housing Counselor, Leah Salgado, to develop a rapid rehousing plan. Within just 60 days, Megan secured a three-bedroom permanent affordable apartment for her family.
Her housing transition was further supported through in-kind community donations that helped cover move-in needs, including furniture, food, and essential household items.
Through our Housing First model — which prioritizes stable housing as the foundation for long-term success — Megan was able to strengthen her employment skills, regain financial footing, and create a stable environment for her children.
Today, Megan stands as both a success story and a role model — demonstrating what is possible when housing, workforce opportunity, and supportive services come together to change the trajectory of a family’s future.
