Healthy Start Initiative — CFDA 93.926

Healthy Start obligations at $848,308,629.19

USAspending.gov records $848,308,629.19 in obligations under CFDA 93.926. One hundred forty-five awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $5,850,404 per award. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical community-project budget and not a cost per enrolled family. Other maternal-and-child-health listings tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $848,308,629.19.

The assistance-listing title is HEALTHY START INITIATIVE. CFDA 93.926 is the identifier. Combining 93.926 with Title V or WIC codes would invent a combined infant-health total this packet does not contain. Read the $848,308,629.19 as the obligation book tagged 93.926 only.

134 recipients on 145 award rows

One hundred thirty-four recipients share 145 awards, or about 1.08 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $848,308,629.19 evenly would assign about $6.33 million per recipient. That density is a project-grant pattern: most named organizations carry a single assistance row rather than hundreds of payment records. The packet does not list the 134.

Thirty-eight jurisdictions in the geographic count leave a gap versus a 50-state formula. Healthy Start dollars follow funded project sites, not equal shares across every state. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table. Recipient count is organizational, not a census of midwives or home visitors.

Award rows are not a birth-outcomes census

Among HHS listings, 93.926 is a low-row file: 145 awards against 134 recipients. Award count is a weak proxy for “number of Healthy Start sites” and a worse proxy for infants served. Recipients (134) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (145) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report live births, preterm rates, or visit counts. Citing 145 as clinics would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, jurisdictions. The $848,308,629.19 stock is the obligation figure from USAspending.gov.

Obligations versus Healthy Start outlays

The $848,308,629.19 is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against Healthy Start Initiative awards — are not in the packet. A project-grant file can show a large obligation stock while draws follow the award period on a later calendar. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

What the 93.926 tables omit

The program hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a birth-certificate file, not a clinic directory, and not a quality-of-care scorecard. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $848,308,629.19. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 145 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 38 jurisdictions is a coding field. Read the program page before treating those cells as equal shares of maternal-child funding. Recipient dollars, if shown on the hub, are still obligation amounts, not cash already paid to community grantees.

CFDA 93.926’s 145 awards spread $848,308,629.19 across 134 recipients and 38 jurisdictions.

Outlays remain a separate column. Source: USAspending.gov assistance awards.

A researcher comparing 93.926 with Title V or WIC codes should keep CFDA numbers separate. The 134-recipient headcount on 145 awards is a near 1:1 project-grant fingerprint, not a high-row formula book. Quote $848,308,629.19 as the USAspending obligation stock for the Healthy Start Initiative only. About 1.08 award records per recipient is the density story. Births, home visits, and infant-mortality rates remain outside the packet. Outlays are a separate column.
