Rio Bend currently has eight single-family homes with trained foster parents. Each home is equipped for no more than six children, including the parents’ biological and foster children. Rio Bend has a retreat center, a chapel, play areas, a large swimming pool, an air conditioned gymnasium, playground and exercise equipment, and a stocked fishing lake. The board of directors has expansion plans that include an equestrian center and a barn to house animals for pet therapy and livestock projects.

Rio Bend does not accept funds from the federal government or the State of Texas. It is supported entirely through private dollars from individuals, grants, and estates. The community has been generous. The current property, buildings, streets, and equipment are paid for in full and a capital campaign is planned to complete the building program.

Rio Bend is properly licensed by the State of Texas and fulfills all governmental requirements and regulations. Rio Bend is also a 501 c 3 charity.
