“Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.”

James 1:27

What is Rio House?

With a sincere desire to honor God’s commandment in James 1:27, in 2012 Rio Vista Church opened a multi-unit transitional housing facility called the, “Rio House.” For several years, this facility has served as a safe home for formerly homeless women and their children, offering a healthy environment and loving Christian community to families in need.

In 2024, Rio Vista Church provided much needed renovations to the RioHouse. These updates were to ensure a more comfortable and secure environment for single mothers and children living at RioHouse. In addition to renovations, this year also marks the beginning of our partnership with CityHouse, a collaboration that will allow us to offer a more comprehensive range of services and resources to the women and children we serve. Through this partnership, we are confident that we will be able to make an even greater impact as we help formerly homeless single mothers and their children grow in their relationship with Jesus!
