CDFI obligations at $454.4M

USAspending.gov records $454,382,845 in obligations under CFDA 21.020. Those 718 awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $632,845 per award. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical award and not a unit cost for loans originated, CDFIs certified, or community-development projects closed. Other Treasury CDFI Fund listings under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $454,382,845.

The assistance-listing title is COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS PROGRAM. CFDA 21.020 is the identifier. Read the $454.4M headline — $454,382,845 in the award file — as the obligation book tagged 21.020 only. USAspending.gov assistance awards are the source. This page does not convert obligations into outlays or into a count of loans originated, CDFIs certified, or community-development projects closed.

718 awards on 677 institutions

677 recipients share 718 awards. That is about 1.1 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $454,382,845 evenly would assign about $671,171 per recipient. That density is a packet quotient, not a typical grant size and not a cost per unit of loans originated, CDFIs certified, or community-development projects closed. The packet does not list the 677 named organizations. Read $454,382,845 only against CFDA 21.020.

This extract publishes a geographic count of 0. Do not invent a state map from that coding result. CDFI dollars follow named institutions on the award file. Place-of-performance amounts, if shown, live on the program table. Recipient count is organizational, not a census of loans originated, CDFIs certified, or community-development projects closed. A simple average is about $632,845 per award. Combining 21.020 with other Treasury CDFI Fund listings under different CFDA numbers would invent a combined total this packet does not contain.

Award rows are not a loan census

Among assistance listings, 21.020 is a high-row certified-institution file: 718 awards against 677 named recipients, nearly one award per organization. Award count is a weak proxy for “number of projects” and a worse proxy for loans originated, CDFIs certified, or community-development projects closed. The recipient field (677 recipients) tells you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (718) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report loans originated, CDFIs certified, or community-development projects closed. Citing 718 as that unit would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, jurisdictions. The $454,382,845 stock is the obligation figure from USAspending.gov. The extract publishes a geographic count of 0; 677 recipients still sit on the award file.

Obligations versus CDFI outlays

The $454,382,845 is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against Community Development Financial Institutions Program 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.

Use CFDA 21.020 to size this listing in the assistance file. Do not use it as a dashboard of loans originated, CDFIs certified, or community-development projects closed. Those series live elsewhere.

What the 21.020 tables omit

This extract publishes a geographic count of 0. That is a coding result on the packet, not a claim that awards have no place of performance. Do not invent a state map. Recipient and award dollars, if shown on the hub, still describe organizations and rows, not a 50-state split. It is not a bank-call-report, not a New Markets Tax Credit ledger, and not a census of every certified CDFI.
