In addition to the supportive services offered, the Homeless Services Center is expanding to not only provide services for those individuals who are already homeless, but also to those who are at risk of homelessness. reStart also offers a new employment program through our partnership with MoDot and an art's program for adults.

Kansas City Project Hope (Homeless Prevention and Rapid Rehousing) and Jackson County HPRP: reStart is the lead agency for the Northeast Service Center. In partnership with Don Bosco Center and Guadalupe Centers, reStart anticipates providing homeless prevention and rapid rehousing services to more than 700 households.

MODOT: reStart is excited to announce a new partnership with MoDot which began in April 2010. Each morning clients are picked up at the Homeless Services Center, taken for a full day of work, and dropped off each afternoon at the conclusion of the work day. We look forward to growing this partnership and for the opportunity that our clients have to maintain regular employment. Click play on the video to see a great story about this program.

Art's for Adults at reStart: this program offers cleints live experiences of multi-disciplinary arts, curriculum-based hands-on study, and creative presentations of participants’ work. The program is enhanced by small classroom size, personal attention, field trips, and outside expertise in various disciplines. It provides consistent support for homeless adults that encourages them to express themselves positively and provides them with opportunities to experience cultural and career options available to them. The program is partially funded by grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, and includes partnerships with such arts organizations as the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, the American Jazz Museum, the Coterie Theatre, the Lyric Opera and others.
