Restart

What Restart does

Restart, Inc. is a Minnesota-based 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that has provided residential and outreach services to adults with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and related disabilities since 1986. The organization operates seven residential sites across the Twin Cities metro (Minneapolis, Robbinsdale, Brooklyn Center, Crystal, and New Hope), structured along a continuum of independence: three 24-Hour Customized Living sites (Kathy's Place, Minnehaha, and 614) providing round-the-clock staffing, on-call nursing, medication management, and healthcare coordination, and four Community Residential Settings (Girard, Regent, Colorado, Zealand) offering semi-independent supported living. In parallel, an Outreach Program delivers Individualized Home Supports with Training (IHS-T), consultation, and advocacy to individuals in their own homes and communities. Complementary add-on programs include the Leisure Activity Program (LAP) launched in 2023 under a state quality improvement grant and a broader Life Enrichment Program for community engagement.

The organization's underlying operating model is a person-centered care framework rather than a technology product: services are tailored to each client's cognitive, behavioral, and physical needs, with a documented progression along a continuum of independence toward community reintegration, employment, and self-advocacy. The portfolio has no software, API, or proprietary technology components; the core "technology" is accumulated clinical and operational expertise built over nearly four decades, supported by centralized intake and referral processes that coordinate with county and state assistance programs.

Restart's revenue model is a managed-services / per-client subsidy structure. The primary funding streams are Minnesota's Brain Injury (BI) Waiver, Community Access for Disability Inclusion (CADI) Waiver, and Group Residential Housing (GRH) program, which reimburse care on a recurring, typically monthly basis for eligible individuals. A secondary private-pay stream covers room and board using SSI/SSDI/RSDI benefits, Workers' Compensation, and other insurance. Tax-deductible donations from individuals, foundations (historically the Wells Foundation and McKnight Foundation), and annual participation in Minnesota's Give to the Max Day provide supplemental contributed revenue. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and varies by client acuity and funding source. Customer segments are end individuals (adults with TBI and related disabilities) and their families, with funders and donors acting as a secondary stakeholder group; the go-to-market is regional, reliant on county case managers, discharge planners, and advocacy-organization referrals.
