Comprehensive Community Mental Health Services for Children with Serious Emotional Disturbances (SED) — CFDA 93.104

$614.3M in federal obligations is indexed on USAspending.gov for Comprehensive Community Mental Health Services for Children with Serious Emotional Disturbances (SED) (CFDA 93.104). The listing carries 147 awards, 107 recipients, and a 46-state geographic count. Those dollars are assistance obligations, not Treasury outlays and not a count of children served, systems of care, or clinical encounters. One hundred forty-seven awards against 107 named organizations is a competitive children’s-mental-health file, not a Medicaid claims ledger.

Key figures

  • CFDA 93.104 shows $614.3M in USAspending obligations for community mental health services for children with SED.
  • The listing covers 147 awards and 107 recipients.
  • Awards are coded to 46 states in the USAspending geographic count.
  • Totals are obligations, not outlays or caseload counts.

Children's SED services obligations at $614.3M

USAspending.gov records $614,302,792.92 in obligations under CFDA 93.104. One hundred forty-seven awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $4.18 million per award. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical system-of-care invoice and not a cost per child.

The assistance-listing title is COMPREHENSIVE COMMUNITY MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES FOR CHILDREN WITH SERIOUS EMOTIONAL DISTURBANCES (SED). CFDA 93.104 is the identifier. Other SAMHSA block-grant or adult mental-health listings tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $614.3M. Combining those codes would invent a combined mental-health total this packet does not contain.

107 recipients and 147 award rows

One hundred seven recipients share 147 awards, or about 1.4 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $614,302,792.92 evenly would assign about $5.74 million per recipient. That density is a competitive-grantee pattern: many named organizations carrying one or two assistance rows. The packet does not list the 107. Recipient count is the organizational headcount on the federal extract, not a census of clinics or children.

Forty-six states in the geographic count is a broad map with a few jurisdictions uncoded or absent. SED-services dollars follow grantee geography as coded, not equal shares. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table.

Award rows are not a child census

Among HHS mental-health listings, 93.104 is a mid-row competitive file: 147 awards against 107 recipients. Award count is a weak proxy for “number of systems of care” and a worse proxy for children served. Recipients (107) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (147) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report caseloads, diagnoses, or encounters. Citing 147 as children served would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, states.

Obligations versus children's mental-health outlays

The $614.3M is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against children's SED community mental-health awards — are not in the packet. A grant 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 93.104 to size this children's SED services listing in the assistance file. Do not use it as a Mental Health Block Grant, Medicaid, or adult CMHC dashboard. Those series live elsewhere. This page reports the obligation book tagged 93.104.

What the 93.104 tables omit

The program hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a caseload file, not a clinic directory, and not a diagnosis registry. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $614,302,792.92. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 147 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 46 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 paid to grantees.

Children’s SED community mental-health services’ 46-state map and 107-recipient headcount together describe a competitive system-of-care book, not a Medicaid claims file. A researcher comparing 93.104 with the Mental Health Block Grant should keep CFDA numbers separate. The $614.3M stock is the USAspending obligation book for this listing only.

CFDA 93.104’s 147 awards spread $614,302,792.92 across 107 recipients and 46 states. Quote award count as a record count, recipient count as the organizational headcount, and dollars as obligations from USAspending.gov. About 1.4 award records per recipient is the density story on this listing. Outlays remain a separate column. Source: USAspending.gov assistance awards.

Caseloads, diagnoses, and encounters live in other SAMHSA or Medicaid series. Those rows are outside $614,302,792.92 unless they share CFDA 93.104. Quote 147 as assistance records, 107 as organizational payees, and 46 as the geographic count.
