Human Resources Generalist (Part-Tme)

About Amethyst Place 

Amethyst Place is the product of Kansas City community leaders banding together to address the lack of safe housing for single women 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 23 years and has been home to over 384 families, including 742 children.
