You see the gap. We're building the bridge.
AMAI is looking for partners who work with pregnant women in crisis — so that when you identify someone who needs sanctuary, there's somewhere real to send her.
The problem you've already seen.
You've seen it: a pregnant woman in your clinic, your shelter, your office — in crisis, with nowhere to go that actually fits her situation. She's scared. She's under pressure. And without somewhere safe to stabilize, the outcome is worse for her — and for her child.
The referrals you have don't match what she needs. The system moves too slowly. And she leaves your care without the stability that gives this pregnancy a real chance.
AMAI was built for exactly that gap.
What AMAI offers your clients.
When you refer a woman to AMAI, she gets more than a referral. She gets a sanctuary.
Immediate safe refuge
A private, home-based environment — not a shelter bed. Calm, dignified, and free from outside pressure from the moment she arrives.
Emotional & practical stabilization
Support to understand her situation clearly — options, rights, and choices — without anyone directing her what to decide. Her agency, protected.
Safety planning & advocacy
Connection to legal help, healthcare, and community resources. Advocacy when she has to navigate systems that feel impossible or overwhelming.
Legal & health connections
Referral infrastructure to legal, health, and housing resources — so her needs beyond the sanctuary are met.
A supported environment
Where she can choose to carry her pregnancy with confidence, not fear — making the most consequential decision of her life with clarity around her.
A confirmed transition plan
Before she leaves AMAI, she has somewhere real to go — housing, support, resources. She won't leave without a next step.
Three partner categories.
We're building active, trusted relationships with organizations committed to the same women — and the same children — we serve.
Maternal Health
OBs, midwives, labor and delivery nurses, and prenatal clinics who encounter women in unstable or unsafe situations during care.
DV & Crisis
Advocates, hotlines, shelters, and counselors who work with women whose needs exceed what standard crisis services can address.
Housing
Organizations providing longer-term housing who need a stabilization bridge before a woman is ready — or a warm landing for women leaving AMAI.
The partnership process.
This only works if the network is real. AMAI is not a passive referral list.
Referral pathway.
You identify a woman who needs sanctuary. You contact AMAI directly through a secure partner channel. We respond within [X hours].
Coordinated intake.
We work with you on the handoff — so your client isn't starting over, and you stay informed at whatever level she consents to.
Transition coordination.
When she's ready to leave AMAI, we coordinate with partners — including you — to make sure the next step is real, not a referral to a waiting list.
Feedback loop.
We share outcomes (with consent) so you know how women you referred fared. We treat this as a genuine partnership, not a one-way handoff.
AMAI is in its pilot phase.
This means this is the moment to shape how the model works. Partner organizations in the pilot will:
- Have direct input into referral and coordination processes
- Be part of building something that doesn't yet exist in Texas
- Serve women who currently fall through the cracks — and give their pregnancies a fighting chance
This only works if the network is real.
AMAI is not a passive referral list. We're building active, trusted relationships with organizations that are committed to the same women — and the same children — we serve.
