Oaks at Rio Bend

The Delay Foundation for Kids

Oaks at Rio Bend is a community specifically designed to provide a home and neighborhood for abused and neglected children in the foster care system. Congressman Tom Delay and his wife Christine are the visionaries behind this project. It is the Delays’ intent that Oaks at Rio Bend serve as a prototype that can be replicated throughout the United States. Situated on 50 acres of land donated by the George Foundation of Texas, the master plan calls for individual homes to be occupied by foster parents in a neighborhood setting along with amenities that include a chapel, an athletic center and ball fields, guest homes for visitors, a community store, fishing ponds and landscaping, as well as, agricultural and livestock facilities. KGA donated its planning services to this worthwhile project. KGA/DeForest Design provided landscape design services for the project.
