Amethyst Place Inc

Supportive Housing: Our campus provides 69 fully furnished apartments within a tight-knit community. Residents have access to a multitude of on-site servicesto support life skill development and recovery. Families commit to living here one year, although many remain longer to achieve their goals. The average stay for families in 2024 was 28 months.When they graduate our program, they maintain access to all services. In 2023, we began constructing a second, 32-unit campus to meet increased community demand. The $17 million project was constructed on vacant land a block east of our existing campus. Capital gifts toward this project are reflected in revenue sources. The project was completed in early 2025 and residents were moved into the units beginning in April 2025. With the completion of this project, we increased our capacity by 86%, bringing our total unit count to 69 and increasing our impact to 300 women and children annually.

Family Empowerment - This program helps families overcome generational poverty through comprehensive support that addresses their educational, vocational, financial, and wellness goals. Our Family Empowerment Program leverages the power of peer support and lived experience through the work of three staff who are previous graduates of Amethyst Place. All provide individual recovery coaching fused with their specialty areas and coordinate weekly Empowerment programming focused on recovery, mental health, and life skills. A new addition to the Family Empowerment Program is the Youth Empowerment Program (YEP!), which has allowed us to establish youth and adult tracks to empowerment. Youth Empowerment staff provide case management and support, including regular check-ins, coordination with schools, connections to extracurricular activities, and other services to support their well-being, resilience, and growth. They also deliver weekly group programming for campus youth.
