Future Builds
The Riggs
The Riggs family has been selected as our 2012 SLAMMS build. Lisa Riggs is a hard-working, widowed single mother of two
and a lifelong resident of the Santiam Canyon. Although Lisa works full time as
a Jeld-Wen parts manufacturer, finances are tight and the family has endured
difficulties affording the cost of rent and utilities. Memories raising her children and
the community's friendly faces and feeling of closeness make it a place Lisa
hopes to one day be able to call a permanent home for her loving family. Construction on their home will begin in 2012.
The Kennedys
Megan Kennedy is no stranger to hard work and dedication. She has fought, and won, a battle with addiction and homelessness and now serves as an advocate for families in similar situations. After spending the first five years of her daughter's life living in more than 13 places - including a shelter and her car parked on a back road - the Kennedys are now stable and living in an apartment. But Megan and her daughter are ready for their forever home - a place where her daughter can make friends, sleep peacefully at night, and experience the stability she so desperately deserves. Both say that partnering with Habitat is their dream come true. Construction on their home will begin in 2012.
Planning, fundraising, and family selections are now taking place for future builds.
