Low-Income Home Energy Assistance — CFDA 93.568
$23.0 billion in federal obligations is indexed on USAspending.gov for Low-Income Home Energy Assistance (CFDA 93.568). The listing covers 2,288 awards, 218 recipients, and a 56-state geographic count. Those dollars are assistance obligations, not outlays and not a count of households that received a heating or cooling benefit. SpendingVault keeps 93.568 as its own CFDA row so energy-assistance awards are not collapsed into a generic “welfare” total.

Energy-assistance obligations at $23.0 billion
USAspending.gov records $22,951,738,575.88 in obligations under CFDA 93.568. Two thousand two hundred eighty-eight awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $10.0 million per award, consistent with state- and territory-level energy-assistance grants plus a set of additional administering recipients. The assistance-listing title is LOW-INCOME HOME ENERGY ASSISTANCE. CFDA 93.568 is the join key.
Weatherization or other energy listings, if tagged under different CFDA numbers, are not included in the $23.0 billion. Mixing them would invent a combined energy-aid total this packet does not contain.
Two hundred eighteen recipients across 56 states
Two hundred eighteen recipients share 2,288 awards, or about 10 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $23.0 billion evenly would assign about $105 million per recipient. Lead agencies and some tribal or territorial administrators can appear as organizational recipients; the packet does not list the 218 names.
Fifty-six states in the geographic count is a wide coding in the USAspending state field, typically including the District of Columbia and territories. Heating need varies by climate; the state count does not publish heating-degree days or equalize dollars. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table.
Awards versus households heated
Award count (2,288) is a count of assistance records, including modifications as stored. It is not the number of households that received a credit on a utility bill. A single state recipient can post many award actions as regular and emergency energy funds are added. Inflating 2,288 into a caseload would be a unit error.
The packet does not report fuel type, crisis versus regular benefits, or average household benefit. Those details live in other reports. This page stays on dollars, awards, recipients, and states.
Obligations versus utility payments
The $23.0 billion is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid to states or, downstream, to utilities and households — are not in the packet. An energy-assistance grant can be obligated in one period while winter benefits post in another. Deobligations and supplemental awards both move the stock.

CFDA 93.568’s $22,951,738,575.88 sits on 2,288 awards, 218 recipients, and 56 states. That is an administering-agency energy-assistance file, not a household extract.

Two thousand two hundred eighty-eight is not the number of households credited on a utility bill. Fifty-six geographic labels do not equalize heating aid by climate.
