Public Housing Capital Fund — CFDA 14.872

Capital-fund obligations at $6.84 billion

USAspending.gov records $6,839,598,360.11 in obligations under CFDA 14.872. Six thousand four hundred eighty-six awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $1.05 million per award — larger than a typical operating-subsidy row, which matches a capital-modernization file that posts fewer, bigger actions than a monthly operating draw. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical project budget.

The assistance-listing title is PUBLIC HOUSING CAPITAL FUND. CFDA 14.872 is the identifier. Operating-fund or voucher listings, if tagged under other CFDA numbers, are not included in the $6.84 billion. Mixing those codes would double-count housing assistance. The program table is the place to keep 14.872 separate from neighboring housing rows.

Thousands of recipients on a capital listing

Two thousand eight hundred thirty-four recipients share 6,486 awards, or about 2.3 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $6.84 billion evenly would assign about $2.41 million per recipient. Public housing authorities are the organizational unit this kind of listing usually names; the packet does not list the 2,834. Recipient count is the better organizational headcount than award count.

Fifty-four states in the geographic count show nationwide coding in the USAspending state field. Capital-fund dollars still concentrate where authorities and unit inventories are large. The state count does not flatten those differences. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table. A 54-jurisdiction code set includes states and other coded areas; it is not a claim that every authority received an equal share.

Award volume versus operating-fund files

Among housing listings, 14.872 is a mid-density file: 6,486 rows, not the tens of thousands that recurring operating subsidies generate. Capital work often posts as fewer award actions and modifications. Award count is therefore a weak proxy for “number of projects completed.” Recipients (2,834) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (6,486) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report unit counts, physical-needs assessments, or modernization schedules. Citing 6,486 as apartments or construction sites would be a unit error. A single capital grant can cover many buildings, and a single building can appear across multiple award modifications. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, states.

Obligations versus capital cash

The $6.84 billion is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against capital-fund awards — are not in the packet. An authority can show a large obligation stock while construction draws follow a different calendar. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. A remaining-balance question is an outlay question this extract does not answer.

Use CFDA 14.872 to size the capital-fund listing in the assistance file and to see how many recipients and awards it carries. Do not use it as a condition survey of public housing stock. Condition, occupancy, and capital-need scores live in other series. This page reports the obligation book tagged 14.872.

What the 14.872 tables omit

The Public Housing Capital Fund hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a unit inventory, not a construction schedule, and not an inspection scorecard. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $6,839,598,360.11. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 6,486 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 54 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 spent on roofs, elevators, or boilers.

Where the capital-fund table lives

The Public Housing Capital Fund program page overlays these four facts. The all-programs index ranks 14.872 among other assistance listings. Agency pages show awarding-agency rollups that may include this CFDA among other housing listings. For 14.872 only, start on the program page.

CFDA 14.872’s 6,486 awards spread $6,839,598,360.11 across 2,834 recipients and 54 states. Quote award count as a record count, recipient count as the organizational headcount, and dollars as obligations from USAspending.gov. Mixing those units produces false headlines about apartments or construction jobs. Source: USAspending.gov assistance awards.
