About Maceo May

This housing site serves in memory of Swords to Plowshares’ first-ever housing director, Maceo May. A Vietnam combat veteran, Maceo was a trailblazing advocate for homeless veterans and worked tirelessly to increase public understanding of PTSD. He joined Swords in 1988 as a counselor and made strides in addressing homelessness amongst his Vietnam peers and other veterans. As the need for veteran-specific housing became clearer, Maceo rose quickly into the role of housing director and oversaw the expansion of the Swords housing program from 15 units to 200. Maceo retired from Swords in 2000 and served on our Board of Directors from 2004 until he passed away in 2014. His life’s work has made a lasting impact on our organization and generations of veterans in the San Francisco Bay Area.
