Community Development Block Grants / Entitlement Grants — CFDA 14.218

Entitlement CDBG obligations at $5.24 billion

USAspending.gov records $5,239,241,010.74 in obligations under CFDA 14.218. Two thousand five hundred sixty-six awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $2.04 million per award — smaller than typical state block grants and consistent with many entitlement-community actions. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical project budget.

The assistance-listing title is COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANTS/ENTITLEMENT GRANTS. CFDA 14.218 is the identifier. State CDBG listings, if tagged under other CFDA numbers, are not included in the $5.24 billion.

USAspending.gov records the $5,239,241,010.74 obligation stock for CFDA 14.218 together with 2,566 awards, 1,216 recipients, and 52 states. Keep entitlement CDBG on 14.218 when quoting these four facts. Outlays remain a separate column.

More than a thousand entitlement recipients

One thousand two hundred sixteen recipients share 2,566 awards, or about 2.1 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $5.24 billion evenly would assign about $4.3 million per recipient. Entitlement communities are the unit this kind of listing usually names; the packet does not list the 1,216.

Fifty-two states in the geographic count show nationwide coding in the USAspending state field. Entitlement dollars still concentrate where eligible communities and award sizes are large. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table.

Award count is not a project count

Among housing-and-community listings, 14.218 is a mid-density file: 2,566 rows against 1,216 recipients. Multi-year actions can move award count without changing the set of entitlement communities. Award count is a weak proxy for “number of projects completed.” Recipients (1,216) are the organizational headcount.

The packet does not report housing units, sidewalk miles, or job counts. Citing 2,566 as projects or homes would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, states.

Obligations versus CDBG cash

The $5.24 billion is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against entitlement CDBG awards — are not in the packet. A community can show a large obligation stock while draws follow a program year. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

What the 14.218 tables omit

The entitlement CDBG hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a project map, not a housing inventory, and not a job file. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $5,239,241,010.74.

Place-of-performance on 52 states is a coding field. Recipient dollars, if shown on the hub, are still obligation amounts, not cash already spent on construction.

Where the entitlement CDBG table lives

The Community Development Block Grants/Entitlement Grants program page overlays these four facts. The all-programs index ranks 14.218 among other assistance listings. Agency pages show awarding-agency rollups. For 14.218 only, start on the program page.

CFDA 14.218’s 2,566 awards spread $5,239,241,010.74 across 1,216 recipients and 52 states. Quote award count as a record count, recipient count as the organizational headcount, and dollars as obligations from USAspending.gov. About $2.04 million per award is the density story. Outlays remain a separate column. Source: USAspending.gov assistance awards. The four-fact citation for CFDA 14.218 is the obligation stock on this extract, together with the award, recipient, and state counts already named above. Do not convert those figures into outlays, and do not treat award count as a service census. Start on the program page for CFDA 14.218 before ranking this listing against other assistance rows. Obligations remain the reporting concept on this extract; outlays are not stored in the packet facts. Award count is a record count; recipient count is the organizational headcount; the state figure is a coded-jurisdiction count from USAspending.gov. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the obligation stock; this page does not publish remaining balances. Internal links on this overlay point to the program page, the all-programs index, and agency rollups. SpendingVault indexes USAspending.gov assistance awards; it does not convert this CFDA into a performance scorecard. If a number you expected is missing, the usual cause is a different reporting concept than obligations on assistance awards.
