Services Corporation



Hope Network Services Corporation provides janitorial services to businesses and organizations. The program was created in 2002 to administer work programs with the federal governments’ Ability One Program (formerly JWOD program) to employ individuals with severe disabilities in janitorial positions.  

Current work sites include the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum, the Gerald R. Ford Federal Building and Court House, the Veterans Outpatient Clinic, the FAA Airport Control Tower and Flight Standards District Office, and the Walker Army Reserve Center.

Pay at these locations is based on guidelines established by the Service Contract Act of the Federal Government and rates are set for each contract according to the current Wage Determination for the West Michigan area. 

Participants in this program also receive a Health and Welfare cash stipend in addition to their hourly wage. This is intended for the use of either purchasing their own health insurance or for putting into a personal savings plan to be used for the same purpose of paying for health related expenses. 

Standards for performance, behavior and attendance are high for these important government customers.

This currently consists of janitorial contracts only, but may also include contracts for manufacturing or assembly of products in the future.

United Way Small Business Challenge
12/20/2011
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.
