WIOA Adult Program — CFDA 17.258

WIOA Adult obligations at $2.68 billion

USAspending.gov records $2,684,926,998.88 in obligations under CFDA 17.258. One hundred seventy-three awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $15.5 million per award — far larger than a typical training contract and consistent with state formula allocations. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical local board budget or a per-participant cost.

The assistance-listing title is WIOA ADULT PROGRAM. CFDA 17.258 is the identifier. WIOA Youth, Dislocated Worker, and Wagner-Peyser listings tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $2.68 billion. Combining those codes would invent a combined workforce-system total this packet does not contain.

65 recipients across 52 jurisdictions

Sixty-five recipients share 173 awards, or about 2.7 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $2.68 billion evenly would assign about $41.3 million per recipient. That pattern matches state workforce agencies and similar pass-throughs, not thousands of training vendors. The packet does not list the 65. Recipient count is the organizational headcount on the federal award, not a census of adult participants or local boards that may receive subawards.

Fifty-two jurisdictions in the geographic count cover states plus additional coded entities in the USAspending state field. Formula dollars still vary by allocation rules the packet does not reprint. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table.

Award count is not a trainee or placement count

Among workforce listings, 17.258 is a low-row, high-dollar file: 173 rows against 65 recipients. Multi-year awards and amendments can inflate award count relative to unique allocations. Award count is therefore a weak proxy for “number of adult training programs.” Recipients (65) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (173) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report participants served, entered-employment rates, or credential counts. Citing 173 as trainees would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, jurisdictions.

Obligations versus workforce outlays

The $2.68 billion is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against WIOA Adult awards — are not in the packet. A state agency can show a large obligation stock while local boards draw down on a slower calendar. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. A remaining-balance question is an outlay question this extract does not answer.

What the 17.258 tables omit

The WIOA Adult Program hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a participant file, not a local-board directory, and not an outcomes report. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $2,684,926,998.88. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 173 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 training.

Where the 17.258 table lives

The program page overlays these four facts. The all-programs index ranks 17.258 among other assistance listings. Agency pages show awarding-agency rollups that may include this CFDA among other labor listings. For 17.258 only, start on the program page.

CFDA 17.258’s 173 awards spread $2,684,926,998.88 across 65 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 2.7 award records per recipient is the density story on this listing. Outlays remain a separate column. Source: USAspending.gov assistance awards. Read 17.258 as a WIOA Adult formula book: 65 pass-through recipients, 52 jurisdictions, and $15.5 million averages that describe state allocations rather than vendor training contracts. The $2.68 billion remains an obligation stock on USAspending.gov.
