Making a Difference For 50 Years – One Person at a Time
AAMA (ah’ ma) noun:
A sanctuary; a place where family members, infants to elderly, go to feel safe and be supported, especially during times of crisis, such as a pandemic. AAMA’s mission is to inspire and empower Latinos to pursue their potential and achieve success. Our efforts are focused in the areas of education, workforce readiness and leadership development. For more than 50 years, AAMA has been one of the most effective organizations in the state to help Latino families to become productive contributors. With the vision, leadership and support of our founders, our Board of Directors, volunteers, and our financial contributors, AAMA has created a long history of amazing achievements. And we are building on that legacy.
At AAMA, we’re helping Latinos to be amazing, each and every day. 2

A MESSAGE FROM
THE OUTGOING CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD Dear Friends of AAMA, As we at AAMA celebrate our Golden Anniversary, we recount with gratitude the events that have made our cause a success for the past 50 years. The test of time has proven that our steadfast stake holders have truly helped to “make a difference, one person at a time.” We are very thankful to many who have helped make our mission at AAMA a reality. Founded by a group of community and business leaders in 1970, AAMA primarily helped teens who were using drugs and dropping out of school. In the past five decades, AAMA grew and expanded services, while keeping true to our mission. As needs of families and our community have changed over the years, our focus evolved to meet many new challenges as well. At the close of 2020, we helped nearly 10,000 individuals make it through an unprecedented pandemic through integrated programs in four locations in Houston and Laredo. The true spirit of AAMA was evident as many families looked to our organization for support. Our endurance is largely due to generous supporters, a dedicated board of directors and our staff, who make it possible to guide young people into responsible adulthood and be better prepared for life. We approach the future with enthusiasm and dedication to our work of inspiring and empowering Latinos. During the next 50 years we will come together – no matter how great the need – and strive to serve children and families who want to improve their circumstances. Regards,

Juan Alonso Chairman of the Board 2020 ANNU A L REP OR T
PRESIDENT & CEO’S MESSAGE AAMA Family, What a joy it is to work with an organization such as AAMA. The year 2020 – will be one that we will never forget. I am so proud of what we have accomplished at AAMA this past year – and as tough as 2020 has been – we should all be grateful for what we have. Our AAMA mission, vision, and traditions, center on family, providing excellent services, and serving Houston’s most vulnerable. I’m grateful for our employees and the hard work and dedication they have shown during this challenging year. This year’s annual report is dedicated to celebrating 50 years at AAMA. We celebrate our humble beginnings, our founders’ vision for a better future for our young people and their families. We celebrate the many members of our board of directors who have served at AAMA over the last 50 years – all focused on getting us to this point. We celebrate our wonderful staff – that works tirelessly to make it happen – every single day! This is a critical time for AAMA, for our city, for our country and the world. As we are gripped by the novel coronavirus (covid-19) pandemic, much of our country is suffering, not only from the health crisis presented by the pandemic, but also from the economic crisis that unfolded in 2020. In our city, we have seen unprecedented unemployment escalating quickly, and the many business establishments that are temporarily or permanently shuttered. Indeed, it is a stressful time. Through everything, our performance for 2019 and 2020 was strong, especially considering the reduction in operating income attributable to the pandemic. Even so, we ended in a strong financial position for 2019 and 2020 – with an exceptionally strong liquidity position. The investments made by AAMA in our staff and operations will pay dividends for many years to come, allowing us to continue our mission and vision into the future.
As we celebrate our 50th anniversary, there is much to be thankful for – and many people to thank. Let me first thank two special groups on behalf of all of us at AAMA - the magnificent, dedicated, and fearless health care professionals who day in and day out take care of all of us. I thank them for their efforts in bringing this virus under control with testing, medications, and vaccines. And second, our appreciation and admiration goes to all the essential personnel from teachers, first responders, to bus and truck drivers, from grocery store workers to frontline communication workers – there are simply too many to list, but heroes all. And finally, I must thank our AAMAzing staff - who are true warriors! We recognize that nothing happens without the support of our chairman of the board and our AAMAzing board of directors. Our board has performed fearlessly and flawlessly during these difficult times – all aligned with our love for AAMA. They have my deepest appreciation for all their continued support. We will get through this. And, when we do, you can count on AAMA being there for all those we honorably serve. Here’s to the next 50 years! Buena Fortuna!! - Saludos
Joe Jimenez President and CEO

SUCCESS STORY
April Hernandez The college application process can be tedious under the best of circumstances, but when living apart from your support network and not having the assistance of the only other person in the family with any college experience can become overwhelming. April Hernandez completed the 8-week Graphic Design training program at the Work and Learn Center and learned all she could from the extra resources and support the staff provides. She secured an internship that provided extra skill development and helped build her portfolio. Work and Learn staff helped her complete her college application which later turned into an acceptance. April is now enrolled in college and working a part-time job having benefitted from the support and services of AAMA Work and Learn Center.

Watergate. The Sexual Revolution. War in Vietnam, soaring divorce rates…Earmarks of the 70’s, a time when the spirit of prior times took unpredictable turns. As social forces reached places and people as they never had before, so did the newlyformed Association for the Advancement of Mexican Americans.
For Houston, the 80’s were boom times, and then created a bust. Yet, amid the “me” decade and its conspicuous consumption, AAMA found volunteers willing to give their time, energy and hearts to youngsters from families where guidance and nonjudgmental, caring support was needed. By this time, the organization had grown to serving several hundred people.
The 90s was the last decade of wandering, when you could find your way home without a cell phone or GPS. But AAMA wasn’t wandering when they took on the challenge of establishing one of the original charter schools in Texas, naming it after Dr. George I. Sanchez. With that same intentionality they also built the new multi-purpose Education Center. Houston prospered again, inspiring AAMA dreams of meeting the needs of East End youth in even more impactful ways.

It was the decade of big storms in the Gulf and displacement across the region, followed by the biggest recession the US has known since the early 20th century. As people across the nation made the best out of a challenging economy, AAMA too demonstrated resiliency, building and opening the new AAMA Learning Center. Houston became one of the most diverse cities in the US, with that diversity reflected in our students and staff.
As social media drew individuals into their own private lives, AAMA strengthened its community connections, being named the UnidosUS ‘Affiliate of the Year’ and East End Chamber’s ‘Good Neighbor of the Year.’ It was a prosperous decade with the construction of a second Sanchez campus, and more volunteer participation than ever. When Hurricane Harvey dumped more rainfall in two days than the city sees in a year, our spirits were not drenched we were inspired to do more than ever!
2020s Today, AAMA is stronger than ever, providing innovative programming and invaluable supports, such as the new Work and Learn Center for Disconnected Youth. We are gaining momentum as more and larger grants are secured. FUNdraisers such as Piñata Bash, AAMA Bowl and the resurrected AAMA golf tournament help make the future even brighter for young men and women in the eastern part of our city!

SUCCESS STORY
Martha Ramirez Martha Ramirez is a 49-year-old mother of two boys who moved to the US from Mexico when her husband was offered a job. Martha knew minimal English and quickly became frustrated with being unable to communicate. She began working in a local school system in the Food Services Department where she not only improved her English but discovered a love for working with young children. She learned of the role of Para-Educator and wanted to apply to work alongside the teachers, but the position required a GED. A friend introduced Martha to AAMA Adelante. After taking several classes and with the support of her ESL instructor Mr. Navarrete, she passed the necessary tests. She got her High School Equivalency Diploma in October 2020. A month later, she applied, interviewed, and accepted a Para-Educator position at the school where she had been working. Martha enjoys working with children from first to fifth grade and says without AAMA’s assistance, she would not have the job satisfaction she has today.

HEALTH AND WELL-BEING
PREVENTION AND COUNSELING PROGRAM SERVICES AAMA’s Health and Human Services Division (Prevention and Counseling Program) provides services to approximately 5,000 clients a year in its various treatment and outreach programs. AAMA’s adult outpatient program is the largest Hispanic treatment program in Texas, and was recognized as having the highest program completion rate of all state funded programs in Texas. PROGRAM SERVICES Adolescent and adult out-patient: AAMA is one of the largest providers of alcohol and substance use prevention and treatment in Texas for adolescents and adults. CSAP The mission of our work through the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA)’s Center for Substance Abuse Prevention is to improve behavioral health through evidence-based prevention approaches. HEI In collaboration with Texas Health and Human Services, our HIV Early Intervention Services provides case management for people with both HIV and substance use problems.
HIV infection that begins soon after diagnosis is made helps people with HIV live healthier and longer lives. Ideally, individuals with a new HIV diagnosis should be linked to care within three months. Youth aged 15-24 are the most likely to have late linkage or no care at all in the first year after diagnoses. MAP reduces the number of undiagnosed Texans and improves timely linkage to HIV care. HOPWA The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS (HOPWA) Program is the only federal program dedicated to the housing needs of people living with HIV/AIDS. It is dedicated to serving low-income persons living with HIV/AIDS and their families. Medicaid-Provided Services Substance Use Disorders (SUD) impact the lives of hundreds of thousands of Texans in the general population, including individuals who are enrolled in the Medicaid program. Nearly 12 percent of Medicaid beneficiaries over 18 have a SUD. Medicaid is increasingly playing a larger role in the reimbursement of substance use disorder services. While AAMA does not refuse services to those who have an inability to pay, we are required to seek payment through Medicaid for both adolescent and adult outpatient services as state funding is always the payor of last resort. Adolescents and adults may attend AAMA’s intensive outpatient substance use disorder programs in Houston and Laredo. Adults with Medicaid may also attend AAMA’s Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) program in Laredo.
Familia Adelante Through our Familia Adelante program, AAMA provides intervention services for the entire family with parents and children receiving services at the same time. HIV Core/Client AAMA’s Minorities Action Program (MAP) provides Core HIV prevention to focus on community engagement, condom distribution and focused testing and linkage/re-engagement activities. Client-level HIV Prevention focuses on approved evidence-based behavioral interventions such as “Many Men Many Voices” (3MV) and AAMA’s grassroots evidence-based intervention “Y Ahora Que” (Now What). HIV Prevention executes strategies and actions to prevent the acquisition of HIV in populations with the greatest vulnerability to HIV. Treatment for

When a person gets a positive result at the on-site rapid test, they are invited to AAMA for a confirmatory test, results that are often devastating. Our Community Health Workers are with clients every step of the way, helping them access the medical resources and treatment they need, regardless of immigration or insurance status. • For the month of December, we billed Medicaid $5,429 on 22 clients. We received $5,110 in payments from Medicaid for the month of December.
SUCCESS STORY
M.
In late 2019, M. was coping with a very stressful life through daily use of marijuana and alcohol. His probation officer referred him to AAMA where he struggled to acknowledge how his dependence on substances was exacerbating his problems. He was chronically late or absent from work due to his substance use and struggled to maintain employment, deepening family, financial and legal problems. When he separated from his wife and moved back in with his parents, he lost contact with his children.
M. had a slow start in the treatment program at Prevention and Counseling, unable to stay sober long enough to advance to the next phase of treatment. With continued therapy, he slowly accepted his chemical dependence and was able to make decisions to better manage his life and stress. He has had the same job for five months and has graduated from the treatment program. He is catching up with child support and spending time with his children in addition to working a second job on the weekends.
