Social Services Block Grant — CFDA 93.667

$5.37 billion in federal obligations is indexed on USAspending.gov for the Social Services Block Grant (CFDA 93.667). The listing carries 232 awards, 62 recipients, and a 56-state geographic count. Those dollars are assistance obligations, not outlays and not a count of clients, caseworkers, or service hours. Sixty-two recipients against a nationwide state field is a classic block-grant shape.

Key figures

  • CFDA 93.667 shows $5.37 billion in USAspending obligations for the Social Services Block Grant.
  • The listing covers 232 awards and 62 recipients.
  • Awards are coded to 56 states in the USAspending geographic count.
  • Totals are obligations, not outlays or client counts.

SSBG obligations at $5.37 billion

USAspending.gov records $5,369,111,270.24 in obligations under CFDA 93.667. Two hundred thirty-two awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $23.1 million per award — consistent with state block-grant actions rather than thousands of provider-level rows. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical local-agency budget.

The assistance-listing title is SOCIAL SERVICES BLOCK GRANT. CFDA 93.667 is the identifier. Other social-services listings, if tagged under other CFDA numbers, are not included in the $5.37 billion.

USAspending.gov records the $5,369,111,270.24 obligation stock for CFDA 93.667 together with 232 awards, 62 recipients, and 56 states. Keep SSBG on 93.667 when quoting these four facts. Outlays remain a separate column.

Sixty-two recipients, 56 states

Sixty-two recipients share 232 awards, or about 3.7 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $5.37 billion evenly would assign about $86.6 million per recipient. State agencies are the unit this kind of listing usually names; the packet does not list the 62.

Fifty-six states in the geographic count show nationwide coding in the USAspending state field, including territories in the coded-jurisdiction set. Block-grant dollars still concentrate where allocations are large. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table.

Award count is not a client count

Among social-services listings, 93.667 is mid-sparse: 232 rows against $5.37 billion. Award count is a weak proxy for “number of people served.” Recipients (62) are the organizational headcount; awards (232) are stored assistance rows.

The packet does not report caseloads, service hours, or wait lists. Citing 232 as clients or agencies would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, states.

Obligations versus block-grant cash

The $5.37 billion is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against SSBG awards — are not in the packet. A state agency can show a large obligation stock while service draws follow a grant calendar. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

What the 93.667 tables omit

The SSBG hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a client roster, not a provider directory, and not a service catalog. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $5,369,111,270.24.

Place-of-performance on 56 states is a coding field. Recipient dollars, if shown on the hub, are still obligation amounts, not cash already spent on services.

Where the SSBG table lives

The Social Services Block Grant program page overlays these four facts. The all-programs index ranks 93.667 among other assistance listings. Agency pages show awarding-agency rollups. For 93.667 only, start on the program page.

CFDA 93.667’s 232 awards spread $5,369,111,270.24 across 62 recipients and 56 states.

Outlays remain a separate column. Source: USAspending.gov assistance awards. The four-fact citation for CFDA 93.667 is the obligation stock on this extract, together with the award, recipient, and state counts already named above. Do not convert those figures into outlays, and do not treat award count as a service census. Start on the program page for CFDA 93.667 before ranking this listing against other assistance rows. Obligations remain the reporting concept on this extract; outlays are not stored in the packet facts. Award count is a record count; recipient count is the organizational headcount; the state figure is a coded-jurisdiction count from USAspending.gov. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the obligation stock; this page does not publish remaining balances. Internal links on this overlay point to the program page, the all-programs index, and agency rollups. SpendingVault indexes USAspending.gov assistance awards; it does not convert this CFDA into a performance scorecard. If a number you expected is missing, the usual cause is a different reporting concept than obligations on assistance awards. Name the series as obligations whenever you quote the dollar stock, the award count, the recipient field, or the state count.
