Our program received funding for a scanner from a grant, and since our
agency's original mission (since modified and outsourced) was to refurbish
donated computers for distribution to individuals and programs, yes, some of
our students already have computers (the Hispanic population is the largest
growing population to acquire PCs), and in some programs receiving a home
computer is part of the grant as well.
