Aging Title III, Part C, Nutrition Services — CFDA 93.045

$6.06 billion in federal obligations is indexed on USAspending.gov for Special Programs for the Aging, Title III, Part C, Nutrition Services (CFDA 93.045). The listing carries 1,012 awards, 91 recipients, and a 56-state geographic count. Those dollars are assistance obligations, not outlays and not a count of meals, congregate sites, or home-delivered routes. Ninety-one recipients against a nationwide state field is a classic formula-grant shape: few named organizations, many coded jurisdictions.

Key figures

  • CFDA 93.045 shows $6.06 billion in USAspending obligations for Title III Part C nutrition services.
  • The listing covers 1,012 awards and 91 recipients.
  • Awards are coded to 56 states in the USAspending geographic count.
  • Totals are obligations, not outlays or meal counts.

Nutrition-services obligations at $6.06 billion

USAspending.gov records $6,062,590,430.54 in obligations under CFDA 93.045. One thousand twelve awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $6.0 million per award — consistent with state and territorial grant actions rather than thousands of meal-site rows. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical meal-program budget.

The assistance-listing title is SPECIAL PROGRAMS FOR THE AGING, TITLE III, PART C, NUTRITION SERVICES. CFDA 93.045 is the identifier. Other aging listings, if tagged under other CFDA numbers, are not included in the $6.06 billion. Mixing those codes would invent a combined aging total this packet does not contain.

USAspending.gov records the $6,062,590,430.54 obligation stock for CFDA 93.045 together with 1,012 awards, 91 recipients, and 56 states. Keep Title III Part C nutrition on 93.045 when quoting these four facts. Outlays remain a separate column.

Ninety-one recipients, 56 states

Ninety-one recipients share 1,012 awards, or about 11.1 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $6.06 billion evenly would assign about $66.6 million per recipient. State units on aging are the organizational unit this kind of listing usually names; the packet does not list the 91. Recipient count is the better organizational headcount than award count.

Fifty-six states in the geographic count show nationwide coding in the USAspending state field, including territories in the coded-jurisdiction set. Nutrition-services dollars still concentrate where older populations and grant sizes are large. The state count does not flatten those differences. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table.

Award count is not a meal count

Among aging listings, 93.045 is a mid-density file: 1,012 rows against 91 recipients. Continuation and supplemental actions can inflate award count relative to unique state grants. Award count is therefore a weak proxy for “number of meals served.” Recipients (91) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (1,012) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report meals, congregate sites, or home-delivered routes. Citing 1,012 as meals or kitchens would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, states.

Obligations versus nutrition-program cash

The $6.06 billion is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against Title III Part C awards — are not in the packet. A state unit can show a large obligation stock while meal-program draws follow a grant calendar. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. A remaining-balance question is an outlay question this extract does not answer.

Use CFDA 93.045 to size this nutrition-services listing in the assistance file. Do not use it as a meals-served dashboard. Service counts live in other series. This page reports the obligation book tagged 93.045.

What the 93.045 tables omit

The Title III Part C hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a meal ledger, not a site directory, and not a wait-list archive. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $6,062,590,430.54. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 1,012 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 56 states is a coding field. Read the program page before treating those cells as equal shares. Recipient dollars, if shown on the hub, are still obligation amounts, not cash already spent on food or delivery.

Where the nutrition-services table lives

The Special Programs for the Aging, Title III, Part C, Nutrition Services program page overlays these four facts. The all-programs index ranks 93.045 among other assistance listings. Agency pages show awarding-agency rollups that may include this CFDA among other aging listings. For 93.045 only, start on the program page.

CFDA 93.045’s 1,012 awards spread $6,062,590,430.54 across 91 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 11.1 award records per recipient is the density story on this listing. Outlays remain a separate column. Source: USAspending.gov assistance awards. The four-fact citation for CFDA 93.045 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.
