Few have full time employment with benefits. Total adults <br />with disabilities served in the City of Centerville is 5-10. <br /> <br />Families who use the adaptive equipment and toy lending library <br />are generally low income and do not have the resources to <br />purchase toys for their young children. 50% of the families who <br />use the Library are low or moderate income. Approximately 3-5 <br />families from the City of Centerville will use the Toy and <br />Adaptive Equipment Lending Library. <br /> <br />Income is verified by: Special needs population presumed to be <br />low/moderate income, and information supplied by families as they <br />apply to use the Library. <br /> <br />B.
