Residential Services are for individuals with a developmental disability and provide a home-like environment to promote a feeling of community-living and support community involvement.

Our Respite Services provide quality substitute care so caregivers can have time to renew or be involved in other areas of interest.

Skill Building and Community Inclusion offers people with cognitive and physical disabilities the opportunity to develop and enhance their pre-vocational skills through facility-based, paid work opportunities and life skills activities.

Our Subsidized Housing program offers low-cost apartment rentals to individuals who are permanently disabled due to mobility impairments, chronic mental illness.

Through our Workforce Development program, we provide opportunities for individuals with disabilities to pursue employment.  We offer innovative solutions to allow them to successfully participate in the workplace.

Our Transportation Department provides rides for individuals with disabilities to get to medical appointments as well as other Hope Network locations for skills building.

Community Services are enhancement services that allow an individual to live independently -- successfully. Our staff will assist individuals in their own environment with budgeting, medication management, transportation and similar needs. 

Through Care Coordination, our Supports Coordinators help individuals manage their lives and services in order to achieve their wants, dreams and goals along with maximizing their potential and helping facilitate greater independence. 

Pastoral Services provides professional and effective leadership and advocacy in the integration of persons who have a disability and/or a disadvantage into the local faith community. Our chaplains are available to all Hope Network participants who seek spiritual guidance.

Heart of West Michigan United Way invites you to take on the Small Business Challenge, created through a generous matching grant of $100,000 from the Steelcase Foundation. Any new United Way gift of $1,000 or more from a workplace of 100 or less employees will be matched up to a total of $100,000 by the end of March 2012.
 
Small businesses are the heart of most communities, yet during the 2010 United Way Campaign small businesses of 100 employees or less made up only 11.5% of total campaign dollars. This campaign year, United Way is hoping to change that with the Small Business Challenge.
