U.S. Refugee Admissions Program — CFDA 19.510

Refugee-admissions obligations at $1.80 billion

USAspending.gov records $1,797,432,712.70 in obligations under CFDA 19.510. One hundred eleven awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $16.19 million per award — consistent with large cooperative agreements to a small set of partners rather than a per-case payment row. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical resettlement budget or a per-arrival cost.

The assistance-listing title is U.S. REFUGEE ADMISSIONS PROGRAM. CFDA 19.510 is the identifier. Other State Department humanitarian or PRM listings tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $1.80 billion. Combining those codes would invent a combined refugee-assistance total this packet does not contain.

15 recipients and a 0-state geographic field

Fifteen recipients share 111 awards, or about 7.4 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $1.80 billion evenly would assign about $119.83 million per recipient. That pattern is a small partner roster carrying large, multi-year agreements. The packet does not list the 15. Recipient count is the organizational headcount, not a census of refugees or caseworkers.

Zero states in the geographic count means this extract does not publish a domestic place-of-performance map. Overseas processing and headquarters coding often leave the state field blank. Do not invent a 50-state split. Place-of-performance amounts, if any, are on the program table.

One hundred eleven awards on 15 recipients with stateCount at 0 is an overseas-and-headquarters extract. Seven-point-four award records per recipient means multi-year partner agreements, not 111 arrivals. The $1,797,432,712.70 obligation stock is not an arrivals census, not a nationality table, and not a Reception and Placement series. Domestic ORR listings use other CFDA numbers. Quote the blank state field as indexed, the 15 as named organizations, and the dollars as USAspending obligations.

Award count is not an arrivals count

Among State Department assistance listings, 19.510 is a mid-volume file: 111 rows against 15 recipients. Yearly agreement rows and amendments can inflate award count relative to unique partners. Award count is therefore a weak proxy for “number of people admitted.” Recipients (15) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (111) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report arrivals, nationalities, or processing posts. Citing 111 as refugees would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients — and a blank state field.

Obligations versus payment outlays

The $1.80 billion is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against refugee-admissions awards — are not in the packet. A partner can show a large obligation stock while a draw follows a later performance period. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. A remaining-balance question is an outlay question this extract does not answer.

Use CFDA 19.510 to size this U.S. Refugee Admissions Program listing in the assistance file. Do not use it as a domestic Reception and Placement, ORR, or asylum-caseload dashboard. Those series live on other codes. This page reports the obligation book tagged 19.510.

What the 19.510 tables omit

The Refugee Admissions hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not an arrivals ledger, not a nationality table, and not a wait-time file. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $1,797,432,712.70. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 111 award rows.

The 0-state geographic field is a coding result, not a finding that the program has no geography. Read the program page before treating recipient dollars as cash already spent on travel or processing.

Where the 19.510 table lives

The program page overlays these four facts. The all-programs index ranks 19.510 among other assistance listings. Agency pages show awarding-agency rollups that may include this CFDA among other State Department listings. For 19.510 only, start on the program page.

CFDA 19.510’s 111 awards spread $1,797,432,712.70 across 15 recipients with stateCount indexed at 0. Quote award count as a record count, recipient count as the organizational headcount, and dollars as obligations from USAspending.gov. About 7.4 award records per recipient is the density story on this listing. Outlays remain a separate column. Source: USAspending.gov assistance awards.

Questions

How much is obligated for the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program?

USAspending.gov records $1,797,432,712.70 in obligations for CFDA 19.510. SpendingVault indexes 111 awards, 15 recipients, and 0 states. The figure is an obligation sum from assistance awards, not an outlay and not an arrivals count. CFDA 19.510’s $1.80 billion is the USAspending obligation stock.

How many awards does CFDA 19.510 carry?

The listing shows 111 awards against 15 recipients, or about 7.4 award records per recipient. A simple average is about $16.19 million per award. Award count is not a refugee or case count. Recipient dollars are on the program page.

Why does 19.510 show 0 states?

The extract lists stateCount as 0. That is a blank geographic field on this packet, common when awards are coded overseas or to headquarters rather than a U.S. state. The packet does not invent a domestic map. Fifteen recipients still sit on the 111 award rows.

Is $1.80 billion already paid to admissions partners?

Not necessarily. Obligations are commitments. Outlays are payments. CFDA 19.510’s indexed total is the obligation stock from USAspending.gov. This page does not report cash drawn, remaining balances, or arrivals. The $1.80 billion on 111 awards is the obligation figure. USAspending.gov indexes those rows as assistance obligations, not outlays.
