The American Legion
Feb 11, 2021
Up to six area homeless veterans now will have a place to live, thanks to a collaborative effort that includes critical support from American Legion Post 178 in Rio Vista, Calif.
An effort involving Solano-Napa Habitat for Humanity, Post 178, Solano County and the City of Rio Vista, the Rio Vista Veterans Residence was dedicated Jan. 28 of this year and now already is housing two homeless veterans, with three more lined up. The six-bedroom, three-bathroom facility will be open to screened homeless veterans and their families, with no limit as to how long they reside there.
It’s also located right next to Post 178, which donated $50,000 to the project and will continue to provide support to those living in the residence.
