Reentry Employment Opportunities — CFDA 17.270

Reentry employment obligations at $622.0M

USAspending.gov records $622,014,618.46 in obligations under CFDA 17.270. Two hundred thirty-eight awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $2.61 million per award. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical workforce-grant invoice and not a cost per placement.

The assistance-listing title is REENTRY EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES. CFDA 17.270 is the identifier. Other Department of Labor WIOA, Job Corps, or justice-involved listings tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $622.0M. Combining those codes would invent a combined reentry-workforce total this packet does not contain.

157 recipients and 238 award rows

One hundred fifty-seven recipients share 238 awards, or about 1.5 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $622,014,618.46 evenly would assign about $3.96 million per recipient. That density is a competitive-grantee pattern: many named organizations carrying one or two assistance rows. The packet does not list the 157. Recipient count is the organizational headcount on the federal extract, not a census of workforce boards or people served.

Forty-six states in the geographic count is a broad map with a few jurisdictions uncoded or absent. Reentry dollars follow grantee geography as coded, not equal shares. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table.

Award rows are not a placement census

Among Labor workforce listings, 17.270 is a mid-row competitive file: 238 awards against 157 recipients. Award count is a weak proxy for “number of reentry programs” and a worse proxy for job placements. Recipients (157) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (238) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report placements, wages, or recidivism. Citing 238 as people served would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, states.

Obligations versus workforce outlays

The $622.0M is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against Reentry Employment Opportunities awards — are not in the packet. A grant file can show a large obligation stock while reimbursements follow a later calendar. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. A remaining-balance question is an outlay question this extract does not answer.

Use CFDA 17.270 to size this Reentry Employment Opportunities listing in the assistance file. Do not use it as a WIOA Adult, Second Chance Act, or unemployment-insurance dashboard. Those series live elsewhere. This page reports the obligation book tagged 17.270.

What the 17.270 tables omit

The program hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a placement log, not a workforce-board directory, and not a corrections roster. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $622,014,618.46. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 238 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 46 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 grantees.

Reentry Employment Opportunities’ 46-state map and 157-recipient headcount together describe a competitive workforce book, not a state UI dashboard. A researcher comparing 17.270 with WIOA Adult or Second Chance Act codes should keep CFDA numbers separate. The $622.0M stock is the USAspending obligation book for this listing only.

Where the 17.270 table lives

The program page overlays these four facts. The all-programs index ranks 17.270 among other assistance listings. Agency pages show awarding-agency rollups that may include this CFDA among other Labor listings. For 17.270 only, start on the program page.

CFDA 17.270’s 238 awards spread $622,014,618.46 across 157 recipients and 46 states. Quote award count as a record count, recipient count as the organizational headcount, and dollars as obligations from USAspending.gov. About 1.5 award records per recipient is the density story on this listing. Outlays remain a separate column. Source: USAspending.gov assistance awards.

Placements, wages, and recidivism live in other Labor or Justice series. Those rows are outside $622,014,618.46 unless they share CFDA 17.270. Quote 238 as assistance records, 157 as organizational payees, and 46 as the geographic count.
