Refugee and Entrant Assistance Discretionary Grants — CFDA 93.576

Discretionary refugee obligations at $833.2 million

USAspending.gov records $833,162,767.85 in obligations under CFDA 93.576. One hundred ten awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $7,574,207 per award. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical nonprofit project budget and not a cost per arrival. Other Office of Refugee Resettlement listings tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $833,162,767.85.

The assistance-listing title is REFUGEE AND ENTRANT ASSISTANCE DISCRETIONARY GRANTS. CFDA 93.576 is the identifier. Combining 93.576 with formula cash-and-medical-assistance codes would invent a combined refugee-assistance total this packet does not contain. Read the $833,162,767.85 as the obligation book tagged 93.576 only.

84 recipients on 110 award rows

Eighty-four recipients share 110 awards, or about 1.3 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $833,162,767.85 evenly would assign about $9.92 million per recipient. That density is a discretionary-grant pattern: most named organizations carry one or two assistance rows rather than a payment-row farm file. The packet does not list the 84.

Thirty-one jurisdictions in the geographic count is a project-site map, not a 50-state formula. Discretionary refugee dollars follow funded grantees, not equal shares across every state. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table. Recipient count is organizational, not a census of caseworkers or arrivals.

Award rows are not an arrivals census

Among HHS listings, 93.576 is a low-row discretionary file: 110 awards against 84 recipients. Award count is a weak proxy for “number of refugee programs” and a worse proxy for people served. Recipients (84) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (110) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report admissions, employment placements, or English-class seats. Citing 110 as arrivals would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, jurisdictions. The $833,162,767.85 stock is the obligation figure from USAspending.gov.

Obligations versus refugee-assistance outlays

The $833,162,767.85 is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against Refugee and Entrant Assistance Discretionary Grants awards — are not in the packet. A discretionary file can show a large obligation stock while draws follow project periods. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

What the 93.576 tables omit

The program hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a refugee-admissions file, not a case-management roster, and not a housing-placement log. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $833,162,767.85. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 110 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 31 jurisdictions is a coding field. Read the program page before treating those cells as equal shares of refugee funding. Recipient dollars, if shown on the hub, are still obligation amounts, not cash already paid to resettlement agencies.

A researcher comparing 93.576 with formula refugee cash-and-medical-assistance codes should keep CFDA numbers separate. The 84-recipient headcount on 110 awards is a discretionary-project fingerprint, not an arrivals ledger. Quote $833,162,767.85 as the USAspending obligation stock for Refugee and Entrant Assistance Discretionary Grants only. About 1.3 award records per recipient is the density story. Admissions, case counts, and employment placements remain outside the packet. Outlays are a separate column.
