Keith Coros Community ADA Implementation Grants Program

2007-2008 Community ADA Implementation Projects

ADA-Indiana, with generous support from the Indiana Governor's Council for People with Disabilities, were pleased to have funded two organizations through the 2007-2008 COMMUNITY ADA IMPLEMENTATION PROJECTS program. The purpose of the program is to promote increased implementation of the ADA in Indiana’s local communities. The funded organization included:

Lifestream Services, Inc. in Delaware County

Lifestream Services, Inc., a service provider based in Yorktown, developed a training and publication called “Understanding the Link between the ADA and Public Transportation.” They hosted the training for transportation staff and people with disabilities.

Future Choices, Inc., in Muncie

Future Choices, Inc., one of Indiana’s Center for Independent Living based in Muncie, offered training and conducted follow-up site accessibility checks in collaboration with the City/County ADA Coordinator. The training used the Great Lakes ADA Center's Legal Issues webinar series to city and county officials.
