Indian Housing Block Grants — CFDA 14.867

What $12.45 billion on 487 awards means

Assistance listing 14.867 is titled INDIAN HOUSING BLOCK GRANTS in the USAspending.gov files this site indexes. The obligation total on that code is $12,449,217,995.96. An obligation is a recorded federal commitment on an award. It is not a construction invoice already paid.

487 awards sit under that dollar book. Dividing $12,449,217,995.96 by 487 produces a mean near $25.6 million per award record. That quotient is derived from the two packet totals. It is not a typical household rent subsidy and not a per-unit construction cost. Block-grant dollars often sit on a modest number of large recipient actions, which is why 487 records can carry $12,449,217,995.96.

391 organizational recipients appear on those rows—close to the award count, so many recipients hold few awards each in this snapshot. 36 states are coded for place of performance. Neither count converts the obligation total into homes completed.

391 recipients in 36 states

CFDA 14.867 lists 391 recipients and 36 states against 487 awards. Recipient count is not unique households. It is how many organizational recipients the assistance extract stores. With 487 awards on 391 recipients, the ratio is near one award per recipient in this extract—unlike research listings where one organization holds dozens of awards.

Thirty-six states is a coded-jurisdiction span, narrower than a 50-state formula program. Place-of-performance coding follows where awards are recorded, not a census of every tribal land. The housing hub keeps $12,449,217,995.96, 487 awards, 391 recipients, and 36 states visible so geography is not inferred from dollars.

Obligations versus housing outlays

USAspending.gov publishes obligations on assistance awards. The $12,449,217,995.96 figure for CFDA 14.867 can include commitments that will disburse as projects advance. A separate housing-unit inventory 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 14.867 program page. Do not stretch 487 awards or 391 recipients to cover every housing dollar tagged under another listing.

What the 14.867 tables omit

The Indian Housing Block Grants hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a unit-by-unit construction file, not a wait-list, and not a map of every housing authority. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $12,449,217,995.96.

Place-of-performance on 36 states is a coding field. A recipient coded to one cell can dominate geography while housing activity occurs in several localities. Read the program page before any state split.

A worked reading of the 14.867 extract

Start from the four packet facts on CFDA 14.867: $12,449,217,995.96 in obligations, 487 awards, 391 recipients, and 36 states. The mean near $25.56 million 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 391 recipients barely move. If modifications proliferate, 487 can rise while the dollar book stays close to $12,449,217,995.96.

Nothing in the extract splits INDIAN HOUSING BLOCK GRANTS into subaccounts, fiscal years, or outlay versus obligation series beyond the stored totals. Those cuts live in other publications. Treat CFDA 14.867 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 487 awards and 391 recipients next to the dollars so the record count is visible beside $12,449,217,995.96. 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.
