Child Care and Development Block Grant — CFDA 93.575

What $60.51 billion on 2,566 awards records

Assistance listing 93.575 is titled CHILD CARE AND DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT in the USAspending.gov files this site indexes. The obligation total on that code is $60,505,499,877.33. An obligation is a recorded federal commitment on an award. It is not an outlay. Treating $60,505,499,877.33 as subsidies already paid to providers mixes two series. SpendingVault keeps the label as obligations.

2,566 awards sit under that dollar book. Dividing $60,505,499,877.33 by 2,566 produces a mean near $23.6 million per award record. That quotient is derived from the two packet totals. It is not a typical voucher to a family and not a weekly copay. Child-care block-grant dollars often mix state-level actions with additional awards, which is why 2,566 records can carry $60,505,499,877.33 without describing a typical slot.

327 recipients across 56 states

CFDA 93.575 lists 327 recipients and 56 states against 2,566 awards. Recipient count is not unique children. It is how many organizational recipients the assistance extract stores for this listing. A state child-care agency can appear on multiple awards; 327 is not a headcount of providers. The 56-state span is a coded-jurisdiction count, not a map of every licensed facility.

Because award volume is higher than on many formula listings, extra actions can lift the 2,566 tally without moving $60,505,499,877.33 much. The CCDBG hub keeps dollars, awards, recipients, and states visible so one statistic is not inferred from another. Repeat grant years increment the award count.

Obligations versus child-care outlays

USAspending.gov publishes obligations on assistance awards. The $60,505,499,877.33 figure for CFDA 93.575 can include commitments that will disburse later. ACF CCDF expenditure reports and a single fiscal year’s child-care appropriation are different publications. This page does not translate the obligation total into those series.

If a number you expected is missing, the usual cause is a different reporting concept. Start from the obligation definition, then open the 93.575 program page. Do not stretch 2,566 awards or 327 recipients to cover every child-care dollar that touches a state.

What the 93.575 tables omit

The Child Care and Development Block Grant hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a provider roster, not a slot-count file, and not a parent copay table. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $60,505,499,877.33. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 2,566 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 56 states is a coding field. A statewide grantee coded to one cell can dominate geography while providers sit in many counties. Read the program page before any state split.

How to cite CFDA 93.575

A complete citation is $60,505,499,877.33 in obligations for CFDA 93.575, covering 2,566 awards, 327 recipients, and 56 states, drawn from USAspending.gov assistance awards on SpendingVault.

Start with the Child Care and Development Block Grant program page, then the all-programs index. Agency pages show awarding organizations; they do not replace this listing’s obligation total. Nothing here is eligibility advice.

A worked reading of the 93.575 extract

Start from the four packet facts: $60,505,499,877.33, 2,566 awards, 327 recipients, and 56 states under CFDA 93.575. The mean near $23.6 million is a quotient, not a typical family subsidy. If a later USAspending.gov file adds state or discretionary actions faster than dollars, 2,566 can rise while $60,505,499,877.33 barely moves. If a few large awards post, dollars can jump without a matching jump in 327 recipients.

Nothing in the extract splits mandatory from discretionary CCDF accounts, or subsidies from quality set-asides. Those cuts live in ACF publications. Treat CFDA 93.575 as an assistance-listing tag on USAspending.gov award files. Open the Child Care and Development Block Grant program page, then the all-programs index, for a same-series ranking. Cite 2,566 awards and 327 recipients next to the dollars.

Readers comparing CFDA 93.575 across extracts should keep the 2,566-award count and the 327-recipient count in the same sentence as $60,505,499,877.33. Dropping either volume fact turns the obligation total into a floating headline. SpendingVault’s program hub is the place to verify that the current file still carries those four packet facts across 56 states.

Questions

How much is obligated under the Child Care and Development Block Grant?

Does the CCDBG total include subsidies already paid to providers?

Not as a cash-paid sum. USAspending reports obligations—commitments to pay—rather than outlays. The $60,505,499,877.33 figure can include amounts that will disburse later. The 2,566-award count is a record tally, not a count of subsidy payments posted to providers. Cite CFDA 93.575 with the obligation total from USAspending.gov assistance awards, not an outlay series.

How many states appear on CFDA 93.575?
