Job description

Job Type
Full-time
Description
Amethyst Place is the product of Kansas City community leaders banding together to address the lack of safe housing for single family homes recovering from substance use disorder and their children. Because of untreated mental illness, significant histories of trauma, poor educational attainment, limited work histories, felonies, evictions, poor credit histories, and lack of safe and affordable housing options, these women had no choice after residential treatment but to return to the same communities where their substance use began, threatening their recovery and the stability of their families. Founded in May 2000 by task force members, Amethyst Place has filled this gap for over 25 years and has been home to over 437 families, including 851 children.
Noble Cause and Values
