Our mission is to provide pathways to stable housing.

Everyday, thousands of neighbors in Kansas City face the urgent challenges of homelessness

A Stronger Kansas City Starts With a Home for Everyone

That's where reStart begins, building the foundation for a community that thrives together. As the only homeless shelter in downtown Kansas City serving children, families, singles, and veterans, we're here to help.

The Road Home

The Road Home is a storytelling exhibit curated by Randy Bacon and presented by reStart Inc. The exhibit tells the stories of former reStart residents on their journey from homelessness to housing. 

The History of reStart

reStart, Inc. began in 1981 as an overnight emergency shelter in downtown Kansas City and has grown into one of the region’s largest homeless service providers.

With over 45 years of service in the Kansas City area, reStart has become a community leader advocating for and modeling best practices for permanently ending homelessness.
