Special Programs for the Aging, Title IV and Title II Discretionary Projects — CFDA 93.048

Aging discretionary obligations at $654.6M

USAspending.gov records $654,565,510.45 in obligations under CFDA 93.048. Four hundred eleven awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $1.59 million per award. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical discretionary-project invoice and not a cost per older adult.

The assistance-listing title is SPECIAL PROGRAMS FOR THE AGING, TITLE IV, AND TITLE II, DISCRETIONARY PROJECTS. CFDA 93.048 is the identifier. Other Older Americans Act Title III supportive-services or nutrition listings tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $654.6M. Combining those codes would invent a combined aging-services total this packet does not contain.

195 recipients and 411 award rows

One hundred ninety-five recipients share 411 awards, or about 2.1 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $654,565,510.45 evenly would assign about $3.36 million per recipient. That density is a discretionary-grantee pattern: many named organizations carrying a couple of assistance rows each. The packet does not list the 195. Recipient count is the organizational headcount on the federal extract, not a census of Area Agencies on Aging or seniors.

Fifty-six jurisdictions in the geographic count cover states plus territories and other coded entities in the USAspending state field. Discretionary dollars still follow competitive awards as coded, not equal shares. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table.

Award rows are not a senior census

Among HHS aging listings, 93.048 is a mid-row discretionary file: 411 awards against 195 recipients. Award count is a weak proxy for “number of aging projects” and a worse proxy for older adults served. Recipients (195) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (411) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report meals, home visits, or caregiver hours. Citing 411 as seniors served would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, jurisdictions.

Obligations versus aging-project outlays

The $654.6M is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against Title IV and Title II discretionary awards — are not in the packet. A project file can show a large obligation stock while reimbursements follow a later calendar. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. A remaining-balance question is an outlay question this extract does not answer.

Use CFDA 93.048 to size this Special Programs for the Aging discretionary listing in the assistance file. Do not use it as a Title III nutrition or congregate-meals dashboard. Those series live elsewhere. This page reports the obligation book tagged 93.048.

What the 93.048 tables omit

The program hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a senior roster, not an Area Agency directory, and not a meals-on-wheels log. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $654,565,510.45. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 411 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 56 jurisdictions 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 paid to grantees.

Aging Title IV discretionary projects’ 56-jurisdiction map and 195-recipient headcount together describe a competitive-project book, not a Title III nutrition formula. A researcher comparing 93.048 with congregate-meals or supportive-services codes should keep CFDA numbers separate. The $654.6M stock is the USAspending obligation book for this listing only.

Where the 93.048 table lives

The program page overlays these four facts. The all-programs index ranks 93.048 among other assistance listings. Agency pages show awarding-agency rollups that may include this CFDA among other HHS listings. For 93.048 only, start on the program page.

CFDA 93.048’s 411 awards spread $654,565,510.45 across 195 recipients and 56 jurisdictions. Quote award count as a record count, recipient count as the organizational headcount, and dollars as obligations from USAspending.gov. About 2.1 award records per recipient is the density story on this listing. Outlays remain a separate column. Source: USAspending.gov assistance awards.

Meals, home visits, and caregiver hours live in other HHS aging series. Those rows are outside $654,565,510.45 unless they share CFDA 93.048. Quote 411 as assistance records, 195 as organizational payees, and 56 as the geographic count.
