Community Project Funding/Congressionally Directed Spending — CFDA 17.289

Community-project obligations at $418.7M

USAspending.gov records $418,680,674.84 in obligations under CFDA 17.289. Those 498 awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $840,724 per award. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical award and not a unit cost for earmarks enacted, local projects completed, or jobs created. Other Department of Labor directed-spending listings under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $418,680,674.84.

The assistance-listing title is COMMUNITY PROJECT FUNDING/CONGRESSIONALLY DIRECTED SPENDING. CFDA 17.289 is the identifier. Read the $418.7M headline — $418,680,674.84 in the award file — as the obligation book tagged 17.289 only. USAspending.gov assistance awards are the source. This page does not convert obligations into outlays or into a count of earmarks enacted, local projects completed, or jobs created.

498 awards on 455 named recipients

455 recipients share 498 awards. That is about 1.1 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $418,680,674.84 evenly would assign about $920,177 per recipient. That density is a packet quotient, not a typical grant size and not a cost per unit of earmarks enacted, local projects completed, or jobs created. The packet does not list the 455 named organizations. Read $418,680,674.84 only against CFDA 17.289.

Forty-seven jurisdictions describe a near-national map of named local projects. Dollars follow those directed recipients, not a workforce-formula allocation. Place-of-performance amounts, if shown, live on the program table. Recipient count is organizational, not a census of earmarks enacted, local projects completed, or jobs created. A simple average is about $840,724 per award. Combining 17.289 with other Department of Labor directed-spending listings under different CFDA numbers would invent a combined total this packet does not contain.

Award rows are not an earmark encyclopedia

Among assistance listings, 17.289 is a high-row directed-project file: 498 awards against 455 named recipients in 47 jurisdictions — nearly one award per organization. Award count is a weak proxy for “number of projects” and a worse proxy for earmarks enacted, local projects completed, or jobs created. The recipient field (455 recipients) tells you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (498) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report earmarks enacted, local projects completed, or jobs created. Citing 498 as that unit would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, jurisdictions. The $418,680,674.84 stock is the obligation figure from USAspending.gov. Four hundred fifty-five recipients on 498 awards is a one-project-per-grantee directed-spending pattern.

Obligations versus directed-spending outlays

The $418,680,674.84 is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against Community Project Funding/Congressionally Directed Spending awards — are not in the packet. A file can show a large obligation stock while draws, reimbursements, or closeouts follow a different schedule. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. Treasury outlays are a separate series.

What the 17.289 tables omit

Geographic coding covers 47 jurisdictions. Forty-seven jurisdictions describe a near-national map of named local projects. Dollars follow those directed recipients, not a workforce-formula allocation. It is not a full congressional-earmark encyclopedia, not a WIOA formula total, and not a count of every local construction job. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $418,680,674.84.

Place-of-performance on 47 jurisdictions is a coding field. Read the program page before treating those cells as equal shares of Community Project Funding/Congressionally Directed Spending funding. Recipient dollars, if shown on the hub, are still obligation amounts, not cash already paid.
