1998

Living Ways changes its name to “Hope Network South” after a merger with a Sturgis, MI company “ARCH.”

2006

Community Living Options (previously known as Living Ways) officially takes over the remaining business that Hope Network South had in Kalamazoo County. While a portion of the business remained with Hope Network, the parties felt that the values of this community would be best served today and in the future with this change.
