La Ciudad de Goshen está colaborando con ADEC, Inc. para desarrollar el Proyecto de Sendero Sensorial de Goshen para ayudar a conectar a las personas con discapacidades con los beneficios para la salud y las maravillas de la naturaleza.

La subvención de Conexiones Comunitarias para Personas con Discapacidades (CCPWD por sus siglas en inglés) se ofrece a través de la Oficina de Asuntos Comunitarios y Rurales de Indiana (OCRA), en asociación con la División de Servicios de Rehabilitación y Discapacidad de Indiana (DDRS). La oportunidad de obtener la subvención CCPWD es una subvención en bloque para el desarrollo comunitario que se pone a disposición debido fondos suplementarios de CDBG Coronavirus autorizados bajo la Ley CARES. OCRA ha puesto a disposición $4.9 millones en fondos.

Se otorgó $155,322 para este proyecto. El 100% de los fondos se destina a ayudar a personas adultas con discapacidad. La Ciudad y ADEC Inc. están desarrollando una aplicación habilitada para GPS a la que se accede mediante un teléfono o tableta para conectar a los usuarios con la naturaleza en una experiencia sensorial totalmente inmersiva. La aplicación ayudará a los usuarios a localizar e identificar características naturales únicas, señalar espacios interactivos donde las personas pueden participar en la experiencia sensorial y brindar oportunidades en las que los usuarios puedan aprender, relajarse e involucrar sus sentidos.

El proyecto también está agregando experiencias de la naturaleza en línea que incluyen cámaras estacionarias de naturaleza en vivo para brindar a las personas que no pueden participar en el sendero acceso a los mismos beneficios para la salud mental de las vistas y los sonidos de la naturaleza desde su hogar.

El proyecto está diseñado para beneficiar a personas adultas con discapacidades. Sin desplazamiento.

The City of Goshen is partnering with ADEC, Inc. to develop the Goshen Sensory Trail Project to help connect individuals with disabilities to the health benefits and the wonders of nature.

The Community Connections for People with Disabilities (CCPWD) grant is offered through the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs (OCRA), in partnership with the Indiana Division of Disability and Rehabilitative Services (DDRS). The CCPWD grant opportunity is a Community Development Block Grant made available due to supplemental CDBG Coronavirus funds authorized under the CARES Act. OCRA has made $4.9 million in CDBG-CV funds available.

$155,322 was granted to this project. 100% of the funding goes to serve adult persons with disabilities. The City and ADEC Inc. are developing a GPS-enabled app accessed by a phone or tablet to connect users to nature in a fully immersible sensory trail experience. The app will help users locate and identify unique natural features, pinpoint interactive spaces where individuals can participate in the sensory experience, and provide opportunities where users can learn, relax, and engage their senses.

The project is also adding online nature experiences including stationary live nature cameras to provide individuals who cannot participate on the trail with accessibility to the same mental health benefits of the sights and sounds of nature from their home.

The project is designed to benefit adult individuals with disabilities. No Displacement.
