Our campus provides 68 fully furnished apartments within a tight-knit community an 86% increase in housing capacity in 2025 as we opened 32 newly constructed units at our 28th and Tracy Campus. Moms often reunify with their children within 60 days of coming to Amethyst Place. They have access to a multitude of on-site services, including therapy, case management and court advocacy, a household pantry, mobile medical/dental services, and evening programming to support life skill development and recovery. The average stay for current families is 21 months. Unlike more short-term transitional housing programs, families remain at Amethyst Place as long as needed to prepare for independent living and achieve personal goals. When they exit our program, they maintain access to all of our services. 815030 Family Empowerment - The goal of the Family Empowerment Program is to help families increase their economic and social mobility through educational, vocational, financial, recovery, and wellness support. We offer two-generational support through our Family Achievement Model (FAM), ensuring all Amethyst Place residents are provided individualized, family-centered care to build successful futures. Each family is assigned to a FAM team consisting of two Family Empowerment Coaches, one with peer support expertise and one with youth expertise. Families meet with their FAM teams individually in a frequency individualized to their needs. FAM teams leverage the power of peer support and lived experience through the work of staff who are previous graduates of Amethyst Place and/or women in recovery from substance use, houselessness, and trauma. Staff with lived experience help families address common pitfalls of early recovery: family reunification, physical health/nutrition, financial management, job history, and educational attainment. Family Empowerment Coaches with youth expertise help coordinate with schools, connect youth to extracurricular activities, support positive parenting practices, and provide referrals to other needed services to support childrens well-being, resilience, and growth. In addition to individual and whole-family support, FAM teams coordinate and deliver weekly Empowerment programming for women, children, and the entire family focused on social emotional learning, workforce development, life skills, parenting, financial literacy, home ownership, wellness, recovery, and a host of other topics. The FAM team also leads Amethyst Place Sisterhood, a graduate aftercare program that has successfully kept graduates engaged when they move out of Amethyst Place. 250138 Therapeutic Support - The goal of the Therapeutic Support Program is to help families heal from past trauma, stabilize mental health, improve parenting skills, and build resilience. Families have access to on-site therapeutic services provided by our therapeutic team. Therapy is an integral component of Amethyst Places healing model. Most adult residents have a substance use disorder with co-occurring mental health disorders, including depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, and/or schizoaffective disorder. Additionally, children often arrive with a host of emotional issues that are a result of separation from their parents and experiencing the chaos of parental substance use, making the need for family therapy essential to improving family functioning and relationships. Each family develops an individualized care plan in concert with the Clinical team and check-in meetings are held at intake, 90 days, and every 6 months after. Meetings are collaborative and led by the client, with structure provided by the 18 Arizona Self-Sufficiency domains to ensure a comprehensive approach. Our clinical team uses a variety of evidence-based therapies and practices to help families better manage their mental health and heal from trauma in individual, family, and group modalities. These include motivational interviewing, trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, relapse prevention, intensive case management, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, brain spotting, sand tray therapy, play therapy, and strengthening families. 3408853 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false true false true false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 32 0 true 27 true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false X 20 20 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false X X X Starla Wulf-Brennan 9136876083 2750 Tracy Ave Kansas City MO 64109 Starla Wulf-Brennan Executive Director 40.00 0.00 X X 99147 0 4494 Randy M Bennett Board Member 0.25 0.00 X 0 0 0 Yvonne N Brewington Board Member 0.25 0.00 X 0 0 0 Anthony Johnson Board Member 0.25 0.00 X 0 0 0 C Michele Kemp Board Member 0.25 0.00 X 0 0 0 Rev Catherine Stark-Corn Board Member 0.25 0.00 X 0 0 0 Barbara Anne Washington Board Member 0.25 0.00 X 0 0 0 Brittani N Williams Board Member 0.25 0.00 X 0 0 0 Elizabeth E Tobin Board Member 0.25 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jasmin Avakyants Board Member 0.25 0.00 X 0 0 0 Liz L Bean Board Member 0.25 0.00 X 0 0 0 Brian Block Board Member 0.25 0.00 X 0 0 0 Erica S Handley Board Member 0.25 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kathryn Evans Board Member 0.25 0.00 X 0 0 0 Angela Gist-Mackey Board Member 0.25 0.00 X 0 0 0 Alexandria Murnan Board Member 0.25 0.00 X 0 0 0 Emily Parish Board Member 0.25 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sara Beth Burton Board Teasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Jaimie L Davis Board Vice-Chair 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Brooke E Runnion Board Chair 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Vladimir Sainte Board Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 99147 0 4494 0 false false false 21577 2236260 2052787 4310624 Tenant Program Rent 623990 57029 57029 Program Service Revenue 623990 188301 188301 245330 43155 43155 0 4599109 288485 0 0 1018123 1018123 115220 57437 11834 45949 1226909 925748 148825 152336 16532 12359 1575 2598 196328 143312 32546 20470 99452 73366 11992 14094 92350 92350 6000 6000 5373 5373 193187 62920 109234 21033 3162 262 2900 58191 21164 28835 8192 94705 37655 57050 239465 169647 41258 28560 5824 3345 2479 16305 6352 9953 84620 61989 10129 12502 715539 678587 16539 20413 48939 32125 13568 3246 Program Supplies 103965 103965 70257 759 50724 18774 4410446 3408853 639153 362440 4663584 518988 333227 260000 1159908 334385 59428 110537 19400271 919497 14255180 18480774 520746 587925 139234 21131307 20292609 3073775 233791 40464 33618 1330096 3114974 4444335 3382383 X 14787042 16608970 1899930 301256 16686972 16910226 21131307 20292609 X 188663 27405 7186 X false true X true false X 2026038 2320168 4135133 12655489 2074364 23211192 2026038 2320168 4135133 12655489 2074364 23211192 4104689 19106503 2870 5478 2340 11897 13249 35834 23247026 1423446 0.82190 0.82580 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 577012 577012 17652393 697979 16954414 36133 6898 29235 1033780 155482 878298 100953 59138 41815 18480774 Construction Loan 3114974 3114974 4716803 27405 95663 123068 4593735 5373 1 5374 4599109 4500735 95663 95663 4405072 5373 1 5374 4410446 Part V, Line 4-Intended uses of endowment funds Program and Operating Expenses Part XI, Line 4b-Other revenue not included on Sch D but on 990 Rounding Part XII, Line 4b-Other expenses not included on Sch D but on 990 Rounding true ChildcareSupport 3 302 Actual Cost Clothing 54 7453 Actual Cost Educational Assistance 7 325 Actual Cost Family Activity Passes 33 2681 Actual Cost Furniture and Furnishings 106 293712 Actual Cost Insurance 42 21507 Actual Cost Legal Fees 19 5508 Actual Cost Medical 18 966 Actual Cost Other Assistance 65 4930 Actual Cost Pantry and Household 106 54992 Actual Cost Transportaion Costs 46 37179 Actual Cost Utility Assistance 10 4431 Actual Cost Form 990 governing body review Part VI line 11 The Finance Committee met to discuss the draft of the Form 990 and recommend approval for filing the Form 990 to the Board.

We live out our noble cause by: reuniting, stabilizing, and healing previously unhoused mothers and children; removing barriers and individualizing services to promote sustainable recovery and healthy living; and building the capacity of mothers to achieve economic success and overcome generational poverty. In 2024, we served 205 women and children. 95% of children in out-of-home placement reunified with their mom. 96% of moms maintained or re-engaged in their recovery - more than double the national average. 86% of moms were employed, in school, or both, building a pathway out of poverty for their families.
