About

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 hospital discharge planners, probation officers, and families: Where can they go when treatment ends?

Our founder, Frances Nzioki, BSN, RN, has spent her career at the intersection of healthcare and workforce development — leading Delores Homes Home Health Agency and Delores Homes Staffing Solutions, and watching too many people leave treatment or incarceration with nowhere stable to land. 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 real recovery.

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 is the enemy of recovery and reentry. Living together is part of the work.

"Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland."
Isaiah 43:18–19
