Head Start Disaster Recovery — CFDA 93.356 obligation totals

$551.6M tagged to Head Start disaster recovery

USAspending.gov attaches $551.6M in obligations to assistance awards tagged 93.356. SpendingVault reprints that commitment sum. Disaster-recovery headlines in other documents may mix FEMA accounts, insurance proceeds, or the regular Head Start operating grant. None of those substitutes for this CFDA rollup. The $551.6M is this listing only.

No fiscal year is in the packet. The extract does not split the dollars by storm, wildfire, or other event. This guide will not attach the total to a named disaster. If a grantee press note cites a facility rebuild, that rebuild is not a second copy of the $551.6M unless the award is in this 162-row file.

One hundred sixty-two awards at this dollar scale is a mid-volume assistance file. The packet has no median award size. Do not divide $551.6M by 162 and publish the quotient as a typical recovery grant. Amount-sort on the hub shows whether a few large facility awards dominate. Facility versus program-restart dollars are not split here.

162 awards on 55 Head Start recovery recipients

Fifty-five recipients hold 162 awards. That pattern is compatible with grantees receiving more than one recovery award or modification. The packet does not classify the 55 as community action agencies, tribes, or school districts. Recipient count is distinct identifiers, not a count of Head Start centers or children served.

A 55-name list is short enough to review on the program hub. Repeat identifiers mean the same organization received more than one recorded award. Repeat appearance is not a finding about recovery quality. Enrollment, classroom counts, and temporary-site arrangements are not in this packet.

14 states, a disaster-shaped footprint

The extract counts 14 states. That is a narrow footprint compared with the regular nationwide Head Start operating listing a reader may have seen elsewhere — and that other listing is not this CFDA number. The packet does not name the 14 or split the $551.6M among them. Fourteen states is coverage in this extract, not a federal disaster-declaration roster.

Place of performance for a grantee headquarters may differ from where classrooms sat. This packet does not say which location field fed the count of 14. Use award-level geography on the hub if a particular state is the question. Missing states are not listed, so their absence is not explained here.

Recovery obligations are not classroom-outlay reports

Insurance settlements, local capital campaigns, and FEMA public-assistance awards — if a reader has seen them on a facility — are other ledgers. CFDA 93.356’s $551.6M is USAspending assistance-award obligations on this listing. Adding those other sources to $551.6M would build a homemade “all Head Start rebuild” total the packet does not support.

Outlays are payments. Obligations are commitments. Facility repair can draw funds after the obligation date. This extract does not report outlays or children returned to classrooms. Cite $551.6M as recorded commitments on 162 awards. Do not describe the sum as money already spent on portable classrooms.

Not the regular Head Start operating total

Head Start operating grants are a different assistance listing. CFDA 93.356 is disaster recovery as named on this title. Do not add this $551.6M to an operating-grant CFDA on this page. Keep disaster recovery on its own row on the all-programs index. Dollar proximity to other human-services listings is not a shared recovery program.

Opening the 93.356 rows

The Head Start Disaster Recovery program page lists the 162 awards and 55 recipients behind $551.6M. Filter by location if a state is the question; the 14-state count will not name them. Agency pages are a different USAspending cut; this packet does not name the awarding agency, so the $551.6M stays on the CFDA card. Grantee newsletters that omit 93.356 are not this extract. After checking a line, return to the all-programs index without merging operating-grant totals. Classroom-repair photo logs remain a different file than this obligation sum. Portable-classroom invoices are not this CFDA rollup.

Questions

How much is obligated under Head Start Disaster Recovery?

CFDA 93.356 shows $551.6M in USAspending.gov obligations in SpendingVault’s extract. The figure is a sum of assistance-award commitments, not Treasury outlays and not a count of classrooms repaired. The packet does not name the disasters.

How many Head Start disaster-recovery awards are in the file?

The extract lists 162 awards and 55 recipients. Award count is a row count; recipient count is distinct identifiers. The packet does not classify those recipients or count centers. USAspending.gov obligations on CFDA 93.356 are recorded commitments, not Treasury outlays.

Which states received CFDA 93.356 awards?

The file counts 14 states but does not name them or split the $551.6M by state. That footprint is not a disaster-declaration list. Use the 162-row table for award-level geography. USAspending.gov obligations on CFDA 93.356 are recorded commitments, not Treasury outlays.

Is $551.6M the regular Head Start grant total?

No. This listing is HEAD START DISASTER RECOVERY. Operating grants are a different CFDA. The $551.6M is obligations on 93.356 only, not outlays and not a combined Head Start budget. USAspending.gov obligations on CFDA 93.356 are recorded commitments, not Treasury outlays.
