Refugee and Entrant Assistance Wilson/Fish Program — CFDA 93.583
$1,203,230,835.70 in federal obligations is indexed on USAspending.gov for the Refugee and Entrant Assistance Wilson/Fish Program (CFDA 93.583). The listing carries 60 awards, 42 recipients, and a 37-jurisdiction geographic count. Those dollars are assistance obligations, not outlays and not a count of arrivals, cash-assistance cases, or employment placements.

The $1,203,230,835.70 stock sits on 60 awards, not on a merged refugee-assistance file.

Wilson/Fish obligations at $1.20 billion
USAspending.gov records $1,203,230,835.70 in obligations under CFDA 93.583. Sixty awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $20,053,847 per award — large relative to typical social-service grants and consistent with statewide alternative programs. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical per-arrival cost and not a cash-assistance grant size.
The assistance-listing title is REFUGEE AND ENTRANT ASSISTANCE WILSON/FISH PROGRAM. CFDA 93.583 is the identifier. Other refugee-assistance listings tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $1.20 billion. Combining those codes would invent a combined refugee total this packet does not contain.
42 recipients on a 37-jurisdiction map
Forty-two recipients share 60 awards, or about 1.4 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $1,203,230,835.70 evenly would assign about $28.65 million per recipient. That density is an alternative-program pattern: selected states or operators, not every jurisdiction. The packet does not list the 42. Recipient count is not a census of resettlement agencies, counties, or arrivals.
Thirty-seven jurisdictions in the geographic count is narrower than a full 50-state formula. Wilson/Fish dollars still follow participating programs, not equal shares. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table.
Award count is not an arrival census
Among HHS refugee listings, 93.583 is a concentrated file: 60 rows, 42 recipients, 37 jurisdictions. Award count is a weak proxy for “number of Wilson/Fish programs” and a worse proxy for people served. Recipients (42) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (60) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.
The packet does not report arrivals, cash-assistance cases, or employment rates. Citing 60 as refugees served would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, jurisdictions. The $1,203,230,835.70 stock is the obligation book only.
Obligations versus Wilson/Fish outlays
The $1,203,230,835.70 is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against Wilson/Fish awards — are not in the packet. An alternative-service file can show a large obligation stock while program-year draws follow a later calendar. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. A remaining-balance question is an outlay question this extract does not answer.

What the 93.583 tables omit
The program hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not an arrivals ledger, not a case directory, and not an employment-outcomes table. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $1,203,230,835.70. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 60 award rows.
Place-of-performance on 37 jurisdictions is a coding field. Read the program page before treating those cells as the full resettlement map. Recipient dollars, if shown on the hub, are still obligation amounts, not cash already paid to operators. A researcher comparing 93.583 with other refugee codes should keep CFDA numbers separate.
