Amethyst Place
In July 2023, the WellSky Foundation announced a donation of $100,000 to Amethyst Place, a long-term supportive housing program for women and children recovering from generational poverty, substance use, and trauma.
With the contribution from the WellSky Foundation, Amethyst Place is launching an affordable housing development project in Kansas City, nearly doubling its capacity to 70 units. By providing safe housing, Amethyst Place empowers women in their recovery journey, fostering stability and a healthy future for themselves and their families.
“At Amethyst Place, we are deeply committed to helping women overcome substance use disorders and create a new life for themselves and their children,” said executive director Starla Brennan. “This generous donation from the WellSky Foundation will enable Amethyst Place families to continue making remarkable achievements that impact this generation and the next.”
