Weatherization Assistance for Low-Income Persons — CFDA 81.042

Weatherization obligations at $5.61 billion

USAspending.gov records $5,610,525,358.43 in obligations under CFDA 81.042. Two hundred twenty-nine awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $24.5 million per award — consistent with state and territorial grant actions rather than thousands of household-level rows. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical home retrofit cost.

The assistance-listing title is WEATHERIZATION ASSISTANCE FOR LOW-INCOME PERSONS. CFDA 81.042 is the identifier. Other energy-assistance listings, if tagged under other CFDA numbers, are not included in the $5.61 billion.

USAspending.gov records the $5,610,525,358.43 obligation stock for CFDA 81.042 together with 229 awards, 75 recipients, and 56 states. Keep weatherization on 81.042 when quoting these four facts. Outlays remain a separate column.

Seventy-five recipients, 56 states

Seventy-five recipients share 229 awards, or about 3.1 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $5.61 billion evenly would assign about $74.8 million per recipient. State weatherization offices are the unit this kind of listing usually names; the packet does not list the 75.

Fifty-six states in the geographic count show nationwide coding in the USAspending state field, including territories in the coded-jurisdiction set. Weatherization dollars still concentrate where programs and award sizes are large. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table.

Award count is not a home count

Among energy listings, 81.042 is mid-sparse: 229 rows against $5.61 billion. Continuation actions can keep award count modest even while the dollar book is large. Award count is a weak proxy for “number of homes weatherized.” Recipients (75) are the organizational headcount.

The packet does not report housing units, MMBtu saved, or wait lists. Citing 229 as homes or jobs would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, states.

Obligations versus weatherization cash

The $5.61 billion is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against weatherization awards — are not in the packet. A state office can show a large obligation stock while production draws follow a grant calendar. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

What the 81.042 tables omit

The Weatherization Assistance hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a home inventory, not an energy-savings file, and not a contractor roster. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $5,610,525,358.43.

Place-of-performance on 56 states is a coding field. Recipient dollars, if shown on the hub, are still obligation amounts, not cash already spent on insulation or furnaces.

The four-fact citation for CFDA 81.042 is the obligation stock on this extract, together with the award, recipient, and state counts already named above. Do not convert those figures into outlays, and do not treat award count as a service census. Start on the program page for CFDA 81.042 before ranking this listing against other assistance rows. Obligations remain the reporting concept on this extract; outlays are not stored in the packet facts. Award count is a record count; recipient count is the organizational headcount; the state figure is a coded-jurisdiction count from USAspending.gov. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the obligation stock; this page does not publish remaining balances. Internal links on this overlay point to the program page, the all-programs index, and agency rollups. SpendingVault indexes USAspending.gov assistance awards; it does not convert this CFDA into a performance scorecard. If a number you expected is missing, the usual cause is a different reporting concept than obligations on assistance awards.
