(RECAP: Municipal officials and community advocates turned out in a big way for Thursday’s groundbreaking of the Housing Resource Center. The new structure signaled a serious commitment to finding shelter in Virginia Beach for the homeless people – often around 400 – counted annually in parks, along streets and in cars throughout the city. Tim McCarthy, chair of Bringing an End to All City Homelessness, relayed how folks journeyed to communities around the country to devise the best model for the $30 million, three-story building. It will rise at 104 N. Witchduck Road, near Southern Boulevard, and is scheduled to open in spring 2018. The resource center will house more than 100 people, from single adults to families. Some 30 efficiency apartments are part of the mix.)
