Our story
A homegrown response to a persistent need in our community.
Roots Renewed LLC was founded to answer a question our team hears every week from case managers, advocates, probation officers, and families: Where can they go when there's nowhere safe to land?
Our founder, Frances Nzioki, BSN, RN, has spent her career at the intersection of healthcare and workforce development — leading Delores Homes Training Center, and watching too many people leave incarceration, unsafe households, or unstable situations with nowhere to go. Roots Renewed is her response: a network of independent living homes in Kansas City, Kansas built for the first months of a new chapter.
What we believe
Structure creates freedom
Consistent expectations — curfews, chores, house meetings — free up mental space for the real work of rebuilding.
Dignity is non-negotiable
Our residents are neighbors, not case files. We furnish real homes, not institutions.
Accountability is love
We hold each other to what we said we'd do. That's how trust rebuilds.
Community heals
Isolation makes every transition harder. Living together is part of the work.
