Economic Development Initiative, Community Project Funding, and Miscellaneous Grants — CFDA 14.251

Community-project grant obligations at $2.16 billion

USAspending.gov records $2,155,210,610 in obligations under CFDA 14.251. One thousand four hundred seventy-nine awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $1.46 million per award — consistent with project-level community grants rather than state formula allocations. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical construction invoice or a jobs figure.

The assistance-listing title is ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVE, COMMUNITY PROJECT FUNDING, AND MISCELLANEOUS GRANTS. CFDA 14.251 is the identifier. Other HUD economic-development listings tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $2.16 billion. Combining those codes would invent a combined community-development total this packet does not contain.

1,373 recipients across 52 jurisdictions

One thousand three hundred seventy-three recipients share 1,479 awards, or about 1.1 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $2.16 billion evenly would assign about $1.57 million per recipient. That near one-to-one pattern is a large roster of local governments and nonprofits, each with roughly one federal row. The packet does not list the 1,373. Recipient count is the organizational headcount, not a census of projects completed or jobs created.

Fifty-two jurisdictions in the geographic count cover states plus additional coded entities in the USAspending state field. Project dollars still follow where named recipients sit. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table.

Award count is not a job or opening count

Among HUD listings, 14.251 is a high-row, one-to-one file: 1,479 awards against 1,373 recipients. Amendments can still inflate award count relative to unique projects. Award count is therefore a weak proxy for “number of community projects finished.” Recipients (1,373) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (1,479) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report jobs, square footage, or ribbon-cuttings. Citing 1,479 as projects completed would mix units. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, jurisdictions.

Obligations versus community-project outlays

The $2.16 billion is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against these community-project awards — are not in the packet. A local recipient can show a large obligation stock while construction follows a later calendar. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. A remaining-balance question is an outlay question this extract does not answer.

What the 14.251 tables omit

The EDI and community-project hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not an earmark scorecard, not a jobs file, and not a construction-progress report. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $2,155,210,610. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 1,479 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 52 jurisdictions is a coding field. Read the program page before treating those cells as equal shares. Recipient dollars, if shown on the hub, are still obligation amounts, not cash already spent on construction.

Where the 14.251 table lives

The program page overlays these four facts. The all-programs index ranks 14.251 among other assistance listings. Agency pages show awarding-agency rollups that may include this CFDA among other HUD listings. For 14.251 only, start on the program page.

CFDA 14.251’s 1,479 awards spread $2,155,210,610 across 1,373 recipients and 52 jurisdictions. Quote award count as a record count, recipient count as the organizational headcount, and dollars as obligations from USAspending.gov. About 1.1 award records per recipient is the density story on this listing. Outlays remain a separate column. Source: USAspending.gov assistance awards. Read 14.251 as a community-project book: 1,373 organizations, 1,479 awards, 52 jurisdictions, and about 1.1 rows per recipient. The $2.16 billion remains an obligation stock on USAspending.gov, not a jobs or construction census.
