Key figures

  • CFDA 14.267 shows $11,550,106,501.68 in USAspending obligations.
  • 23,202 awards and 2,757 recipients sit under that total across 54 states.
  • Award volume is high relative to many assistance listings of similar dollar size.
  • Figures are obligations from USAspending.gov, not Treasury outlays.

23,202 awards under $11.55 billion

Assistance listing 14.267 is titled CONTINUUM OF CARE PROGRAM in the USAspending.gov files this site indexes. The obligation total on that code is $11,550,106,501.68. An obligation is a recorded federal commitment on an award. It is not a night of shelter already provided.

23,202 awards sit under that dollar book—a high record count among listings of similar size. Dividing $11,550,106,501.68 by 23,202 produces a mean near $498,000 per award record. That quotient is derived from the two packet totals. It is not a typical household rent subsidy and not a per-bed night cost. Many project-level actions can add to $11,550,106,501.68 without any single row matching a person-level ledger.

2,757 organizational recipients appear on those rows. 54 states are coded for place of performance. Neither count converts the obligation total into a homelessness caseload.

2,757 recipients across 54 states

CFDA 14.267 lists 2,757 recipients against 23,202 awards. Recipient count is not unique clients. It is how many organizational recipients the assistance extract stores. One continuum or provider can hold many awards, which is why 23,202 records can sit on 2,757 recipients.

Fifty-four states is a coded-jurisdiction span. Extra modifications can lift the 23,202-award count while dollars stay near $11,550,106,501.68. The Continuum of Care hub keeps dollars, awards, recipients, and states visible so one statistic is not inferred from another.

Obligations versus housing outlays

USAspending.gov publishes obligations on assistance awards. The $11,550,106,501.68 figure for CFDA 14.267 can include commitments that will disburse as projects continue. A separate point-in-time count or a Treasury outlay table is a different publication. This page does not translate the obligation total into those series.

If a number you expected is missing, the usual cause is a different reporting concept. Start from the obligation definition, then open the 14.267 program page. Do not stretch 23,202 awards to cover every homelessness dollar tagged under another listing.

What the 14.267 tables omit

The Continuum of Care Program hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a client roster, not a bed inventory, and not a ranking of local continuums. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $11,550,106,501.68.

Place-of-performance on 54 states is a coding field. A regional recipient coded to one cell can dominate geography while projects sit in many localities. Read the program page before any state split.

How to cite CFDA 14.267

A complete citation is $11,550,106,501.68 in obligations for CFDA 14.267, covering 23,202 awards, 2,757 recipients, and 54 states, drawn from USAspending.gov assistance awards on SpendingVault. Name the series as obligations. If the question is award volume rather than dollars, lead with 23,202 awards, then the dollar total.

Start with the Continuum of Care Program page, then the all-programs index. Agency pages show awarding organizations; they do not replace this listing’s obligation total.

A worked reading of the 14.267 extract

Start from the four packet facts on CFDA 14.267: $11,550,106,501.68 in obligations, 23,202 awards, 2,757 recipients, and 54 states. The mean near $497,807 per award is a quotient from those two packet totals, not a typical unit cost and not a household or client rate. If a later USAspending.gov file adds a few large actions, dollars can jump while 2,757 recipients barely move. If modifications proliferate, 23,202 can rise while the dollar book stays close to $11,550,106,501.68.

Nothing in the extract splits CONTINUUM OF CARE PROGRAM into subaccounts, fiscal years, or outlay versus obligation series beyond the stored totals. Those cuts live in other publications. Treat CFDA 14.267 as an assistance-listing tag on USAspending.gov award files. Open the program page, then the all-programs index, for a same-series ranking. Cite 23,202 awards and 2,757 recipients next to the dollars so the record count is visible beside $11,550,106,501.68. Name the series as obligations, not outlays, every time the figure is reused. Agency pages show awarding organizations; they do not replace this listing’s obligation total.

A complete working citation for this listing is $11,550,106,501.68 in USAspending.gov obligations for CFDA 14.267, covering 23,202 awards, 2,757 recipients, and 54 states, indexed on SpendingVault. Do not convert 23,202 awards into people housed, or 2,757 recipients into a client roster. The 54-state field is place-of-performance coding in the assistance extract. Read the CONTINUUM OF CARE PROGRAM hub before inferring a geographic story from the dollar total alone. If a number you expected is missing from $11,550,106,501.68, the usual cause is a different reporting concept rather than a gap in the 23,202 award rows.
