Title IV-E Prevention Program — CFDA 93.472

Title IV-E prevention obligations at $702,501,379

USAspending.gov records $702,501,379 in obligations under CFDA 93.472. One hundred forty-nine awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $4,714,775 per award. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical family-services invoice and not a cost per child. Other Title IV-E foster-care or adoption listings tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $702,501,379.

The assistance-listing title is TITLE IV-E PREVENTION PROGRAM. CFDA 93.472 is the identifier. Combining 93.472 with Title IV-E Foster Care or Adoption Assistance codes would invent a combined child-welfare total this packet does not contain. Read the $702,501,379 as the obligation book tagged 93.472 only.

44 recipients in 37 jurisdictions

Forty-four recipients share 149 awards, or about 3.4 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $702,501,379 evenly would assign about $16.0 million per recipient. That density is a state-agency pattern: a modest named-child-welfare-agency headcount carrying several assistance rows. The packet does not list the 44.

Thirty-seven jurisdictions in the geographic count is a participating-state map rather than a complete 50-state formula. Prevention dollars follow states with approved Title IV-E prevention plans, not equal shares. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table. Recipient count is organizational, not a census of caseworkers or children.

Award rows are not a caseload census

Among HHS listings, 93.472 is a mid-row child-welfare file: 149 awards against 44 recipients. Award count is a weak proxy for “number of prevention programs” and a worse proxy for families served. Recipients (44) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (149) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report foster-care entries, kinship placements, or evidence-based-practice fidelity. Citing 149 as children would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, jurisdictions. The $702,501,379 stock is the obligation figure from USAspending.gov.

Obligations versus Title IV-E prevention outlays

The $702,501,379 is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against Title IV-E Prevention Program awards — are not in the packet. A child-welfare file can show a large obligation stock while states claim federal financial participation after services are delivered. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

What the 93.472 tables omit

The program hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a child roster, not a prevention-plan library, and not an AFCARS extract. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $702,501,379. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 149 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 37 jurisdictions is a coding field. Read the program page before treating those cells as equal shares of child-welfare funding. Recipient dollars, if shown on the hub, are still obligation amounts, not cash already paid to state agencies.

A researcher comparing 93.472 with Title IV-E Foster Care or Adoption Assistance codes should keep CFDA numbers separate.

Quote $702,501,379 as the USAspending obligation stock for the Title IV-E Prevention Program only. About 3.4 award records per recipient is the density story on 149 awards. Caseloads, foster-care entries, and evidence-based-practice fidelity remain outside the packet. Outlays are a separate column.
