A review committee convened by United Community Services of Johnson County unanimously recommended the proposal submitted by reStart, Inc. to serve as the center’s owner and operator. That announcement occurred on May 1, 2024. reStart currently provides emergency and permanent housing services in the Kansas City Metro. Established in 1984, they provide support services for individuals, youth, families and veterans. Next steps include continued due diligence activities on the property and preparing the Special Use Permit application for the City of Lenexa. Learn more in this news release.

Before the successful proposer (reStart) was announced, partners were reaching out and offering wrap around services such as health care, mental health services, workforce development, and educational opportunities. You can read more from each partner about the resources they can bring into the homeless services center. All of these are important services that can help individuals create a stable foundation upon which to build the next chapter in their lives. We expect many more partners to be added in the months to come.
