THE RICHMONDER- February 1, 2025
BOB RAYNER did a great job telling Mickel Hutcheson’s inspirational story and how he got involved in the Liberation Veteran Services program. Hutchenson is a military veteran who served on active duty in the Army until 1982 and in the Reserves until 2010.
“Mickel Hutcheson’s troubles, like so many people’s, started during the Covid pandemic. He was working as a welder in Richmond but found himself homeless — living in his two-seat Chrysler Crossfire, a 10-foot ladder hanging out the back hatch.
“I’m good at what I do,” he said, “a jack-of-all-trades.”
He was working, homeless, and not sure where to turn for help. “I didn’t want my family to know I was homeless.”
His situation worsened when his car stopped running. After being homeless for a year and a half he turned to the Department of Veterans Affairs. The VA referred him to Liberation Veteran Services (LVS), a local supportive housing program that helps homeless veterans rebuild their lives.
The nonprofit is housed in a nondescript storefront on Hull Street in South Richmond.”
