For 50 years, Riverside and Ensenada, Mexico, have shared a special bond as sister cities. Now, our friends in Ensenada need our support.

Tropical Storm Rachel brought devastating flooding to the community, with over 40% of its average annual rainfall falling in just two hours.

Ensenada Sister City Committee invites Riverside residents to join us in supporting relief efforts by donating essential supplies. Please see the flyer for a full list of requested items.

📍 Donation Drop-Off: Riverside City Hall Lobby, 3900 Main Street
📅 October 26 – November 6, 2026
⏰ Monday–Friday | 8:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.

Let’s show our sister city what it means when Riverside comes together!

☀️ Making the most of today’s sunshine before the rain arrived this evening!

Today at Bordwell Park, Riverside’s Homelessness Community Engagement Day brought outreach teams, service providers, partners, and City staff together to connect people experiencing homelessness with essential resources and support.

Every conversation is a chance to build trust, understand someone’s needs, and help them take the next step toward stability.

Thank you to our Housing and Human Services team and amazing community partners for showing up with compassion and purpose. Addressing homelessness takes persistence, partnership, and action—and that work continues, rain or shine.

Our City. Our People. Our Priority.

Every Riverside resident deserves the opportunity to build a future here.

I joined Inland SoCal Housing Collective and my fellow mayors Mayor Helen Tran and Ulises Cabrera to discuss the importance of investing in affordable housing across our region.

Here in Riverside, projects like Mulberry Gardens show these investments can create homes where families can thrive, seniors can age with dignity, and the next generation can put down roots in the community they love.

With more than 450 affordable homes in Riverside ready to move forward, we know the need is real and the missing piece is funding. I’m proud to support Proposition 1 and the opportunity it represents to help turn planned housing into homes for our residents.

Riverside is listening.👂

Iam excited to announce that Riverside is joining Jigsaw’s new Partner Program to give more residents a voice in shaping the future of our city.

Using Sensemaking AI, we’ll have a new way to hear from our community, understand what matters most to residents, and identify areas of common ground.
More voices. More listening. A stronger Riverside.

I am proud to announce that Riverside was recognized by Climate Mayors as a winning solution in their Stories of Impact Competition during New York Climate Week!
Through tree planting, park investments, flood mitigation, and more, we’re building a cooler, healthier, and more resilient community! 🌳👥

We’re also investing more than $1 million in federal funding to map our urban forest and identify heat islands, helping target investments where they’re needed most. 🙌

Proud to see Riverside leading the way toward a more resilient future! 🌱

Working together. Delivering for Riverside.

Making life more affordable takes all levels of government working together, removing barriers to housing, bringing federal dollars back home, and investing in projects that strengthen our community.

We’re already seeing that partnership at work across Riverside, with investments in the historic Armory at Fairmount Park and Sunrise at Bogart, which will bring new supportive housing and resources to the community.

We’re proud to share our latest op-ed on how we’re working together to turn policy into progress and help make Riverside a place where more families can put down roots and thrive.
