▶ Watch: Rudy Gadison’s story (FOX 2 Detroit)
Rudy Gadison’s story of Army veteran homelessness began after he served his country as a cook, work that meant a great deal to him. But after his enlistment ended, he fell behind on rent and became homeless. He had no steady income and no one to lean on.
Then he contacted VOA Michigan and met Jeff Houpt. Our team connected Rudy with the VA and helped him find work at the Whitney restaurant and here at VOA Michigan.
Today, Rudy is back in a kitchen, working at the Whitney and the Call Sam Kitchen in our Detroit Veterans Housing Program. Giving back to veterans who are walking the road he once walked.
Losing a home can happen quickly after service, and finding the way back is hard to do alone. It takes someone who listens and keeps showing up.
Rudy found his way home. Now he’s helping other veterans find theirs.
