bathroom and living room.
	* TOOLS REQUIRED FOR WORK AND SCHOOL: Tools and equipment required
for your job and items required as a condition of an applicant’s or
household member’s education. This assistance also applies to
self-employed individuals.

may receive funds for additional computers required for work or
