Special Programs for the Aging, Title III, Part B, Grants for Supportive Services and Senior Centers — CFDA 93.044

Title III-B obligations at $3.30 billion

USAspending.gov records $3,295,912,403.15 in obligations under CFDA 93.044. Five hundred fifty-six awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $5.93 million per award — larger than a typical local senior-center grant and consistent with statewide formula awards. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical area-agency budget.

The assistance-listing title is SPECIAL PROGRAMS FOR THE AGING, TITLE III, PART B, GRANTS FOR SUPPORTIVE SERVICES AND SENIOR CENTERS. CFDA 93.044 is the identifier. Other aging listings tagged under other CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $3.30 billion. Combining those codes would invent a combined aging total this packet does not contain.

58 recipients across 56 states

Fifty-eight recipients share 556 awards, or about 9.6 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $3.30 billion evenly would assign about $56.8 million per recipient. That pattern matches a formula portfolio in which a state unit on aging holds many award years or amendments. The packet does not list the 58. Recipient count is the organizational headcount, not a census of senior centers or older adults.

Fifty-six states in the geographic count show nationwide coding, including territories as the source stored them. Formula dollars still vary by state allocation rules that are not in this packet. The state count does not flatten those differences. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table.

Award count is not a senior census

Among aging listings, 93.044 is a moderate file: 556 rows against 58 recipients. Annual formula awards and amendments can inflate award count relative to unique grantees. Award count is therefore a weak proxy for “number of senior centers.” Recipients (58) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (556) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report meals, rides, or older-adult caseloads. Citing 556 as centers or clients would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, states.

Obligations versus aging-services outlays

The $3.30 billion is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against Title III Part B awards — are not in the packet. A state can show a large obligation stock while local agencies draw on a different calendar. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. A remaining-balance question is an outlay question this extract does not answer.

Use CFDA 93.044 to size this supportive-services listing in the assistance file. Do not use it as a senior-outcomes dashboard. Those series live elsewhere. This page reports the obligation book tagged 93.044.

What the 93.044 tables omit

The Title III Part B hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a senior-center directory, not a client census, and not a ranking of aging services. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $3,295,912,403.15. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 556 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 56 states is a coding field. A statewide recipient coded to one cell can dominate geography while centers sit in many counties. Read the program page before treating those cells as equal shares.

Where the 93.044 table lives

The program page overlays these four facts. The all-programs index ranks 93.044 among other assistance listings. Agency pages show awarding-agency rollups that may include this CFDA among other aging listings. For 93.044 only, start on the program page.

CFDA 93.044’s 556 awards spread $3,295,912,403.15 across 58 recipients and 56 states. Quote award count as a record count, recipient count as the organizational headcount, and dollars as obligations from USAspending.gov. About 9.6 award records per recipient is the density story on this listing. Outlays remain a separate column. Source: USAspending.gov assistance awards.

CFDA 93.044 is indexed at $3,295,912,403.15 in obligations, 556 awards, 58 recipients, and 56 states on USAspending.gov. Special Programs for the Aging, Title III, Part B, Grants for Supportive Services and Senior Centers should be cited on that CFDA row alone. The $3.30 billion figure sizes the listing in the assistance file. It does not convert obligations into outlays, and it does not convert award count into a service, patient, student, or project census.

Readers who need the overlay tables should start on the program page for CFDA 93.044, then rank the listing on the all-programs index. Agency pages show awarding-agency rollups that may include this CFDA among other listings; they do not replace the $3,295,912,403.15 obligation stock. Keep the four facts together when quoting Special Programs for the Aging, Title III, Part B, Grants for Supportive Services and Senior Centers: dollars as obligations from USAspending.gov, award count as a stored-row count, recipient count as the organizational headcount (including 0 when the extract stores none), and the state figure as a geographic coding count.
