Lower Income Housing Assistance Program Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation — CFDA 14.856

Moderate-rehab obligations at $1.87 billion

USAspending.gov records about $1.9 billion — $1,870,331,682 in obligations under CFDA 14.856. Two hundred fifty-nine awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $7.22 million per award — larger than a single-unit HAP line and consistent with multi-year project or PHA-level assistance rows. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical rent subsidy or a per-unit amount.

The assistance-listing title is LOWER INCOME HOUSING ASSISTANCE PROGRAM SECTION 8 MODERATE REHABILITATION. CFDA 14.856 is the identifier. Other Section 8 or public-housing listings tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $1.87 billion. Combining those codes would invent a combined HUD housing-assistance total this packet does not contain.

118 recipients across 43 states

One hundred eighteen recipients share 259 awards, or about 2.2 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $1.87 billion evenly would assign about $15.85 million per recipient. That pattern is a modest PHA and owner roster, not tens of thousands of tenant households. The packet does not list the 118. Recipient count is the organizational headcount, not a census of units or families.

Forty-three states in the geographic count leave a visibly incomplete map. Moderate-rehab dollars follow where those projects were coded, not population. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table.

Moderate rehabilitation is a legacy Section 8 stream. The 118 recipients and 259 awards describe a thinner PHA-and-owner roster than Housing Choice Voucher extracts, which often carry tens of thousands of HAP rows. Forty-three states leave seven-plus jurisdictions off the coded map, so treating 14.856 as a national voucher census would overstate coverage. The $1,870,331,682 obligation stock is the assistance book tagged to this CFDA only. Unit occupancy, rent reasonableness, and waitlists are not in the packet.

Award count is not a unit count

Among HUD assistance listings, 14.856 is a mid-volume file: 259 rows against 118 recipients. Annual HAP rows and amendments can inflate award count relative to unique projects. Award count is therefore a weak proxy for “number of apartments.” Recipients (118) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (259) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report unit counts, occupancy, or rent levels. Citing 259 as housing units would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, states.

Obligations versus payment outlays

The $1.87 billion is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against moderate-rehab awards — are not in the packet. A PHA can show a large obligation stock while a HAP payment follows a later month. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. A remaining-balance question is an outlay question this extract does not answer.

Use CFDA 14.856 to size this Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation listing in the assistance file. Do not use it as a Housing Choice Voucher, public-housing operating, or LIHTC dashboard. Those series live on other codes. This page reports the obligation book tagged 14.856.

What the 14.856 tables omit

The Moderate Rehabilitation hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a waitlist file, not a unit inventory, and not a rent-reasonableness survey. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $1,870,331,682. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 259 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 43 states 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 paid to owners.

Where the 14.856 table lives

The program page overlays these four facts. The all-programs index ranks 14.856 among other assistance listings. Agency pages show awarding-agency rollups that may include this CFDA among other HUD listings. For 14.856 only, start on the program page.

CFDA 14.856’s 259 awards spread $1,870,331,682 across 118 recipients and 43 states. Quote award count as a record count, recipient count as the organizational headcount, and dollars as obligations from USAspending.gov. About 2.2 award records per recipient is the density story on this listing. Outlays remain a separate column. Source: USAspending.gov assistance awards.
