Home Restart began as a small informal program in 2015 to help victims of homelessness find housing on a case-by-case basis in Lowell, Massachusetts. 

 

Streamline Communities, a new home construction real estate advisory, marketing, and sales company has set up Home Restart as a social responsibility initiative. Streamline Communities utilizes it's real estate expertise to advocate for the people suffering from homelessness. Home Restart was developed into a non-profit with the help of Streamline's corporate donations, and much of the staff's expertise in real estate advisory. 

​

For every home Streamline Communities sells a donation is made to Home Restart.

​

As of 2017, Home Restart Inc. became a certified 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, offering social services, job placement assistance, and other valuable resources needed in order for each candidate to be able to sustain themselves in a comfortable new home.
