Key figures

  • CFDA 93.958 shows $7,116,316,868.29 in USAspending obligations.
  • 1,001 awards and 377 recipients sit under that total across 59 states.
  • Geographic coding is among the widest in this assistance extract.
  • Figures are obligations from USAspending.gov, not Treasury outlays.

1,001 awards under $7.12 billion

Assistance listing 93.958 is titled BLOCK GRANTS FOR COMMUNITY MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES in the USAspending.gov files this site indexes. The obligation total on that code is $7,116,316,868.29. An obligation is a recorded federal commitment on an award. It is not a treatment session already delivered.

1,001 awards sit under that dollar book. Dividing $7,116,316,868.29 by 1,001 produces a mean near $7.11 million per award record. That quotient is derived from the two packet totals. It is not a typical clinic budget and not a per-client cost. Block-grant dollars can sit on a mix of state and sub-state actions, which is why 1,001 records can carry $7,116,316,868.29.

377 organizational recipients appear on those rows—wider than many formula listings of similar dollars, still far below a clinic headcount. 59 states are coded for place of performance. Neither count converts the obligation total into a caseload.

377 recipients across 59 states

CFDA 93.958 lists 377 recipients against 1,001 awards. Recipient count is not unique patients. It is how many organizational recipients the assistance extract stores. A state mental-health agency or local provider can appear on multiple awards; 377 is not a headcount of clinics.

Fifty-nine states is a coded-jurisdiction span, including territories if they appear in the file’s state field. Extra modifications can lift the 1,001-award count while dollars stay near $7,116,316,868.29. The community mental-health hub keeps dollars, awards, recipients, and states visible so one statistic is not inferred from another.

Obligations versus service outlays

USAspending.gov publishes obligations on assistance awards. The $7,116,316,868.29 figure for CFDA 93.958 can include commitments that will disburse as block-grant years continue. A separate treatment-episode report or a Treasury outlay table is a different publication. 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 93.958 program page. Do not stretch 1,001 awards to cover every community mental-health dollar tagged under another listing.

What the 93.958 tables omit

The community mental-health block-grant hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a clinic roster, not a wait-list file, and not a ranking of outcomes. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $7,116,316,868.29.

Place-of-performance on 59 states is a coding field. A statewide grantee coded to one cell can dominate geography while services occur in many localities. Read the program page before any state split.

A worked reading of the 93.958 extract

Start from the four packet facts on CFDA 93.958: $7,116,316,868.29 in obligations, 1,001 awards, 377 recipients, and 59 states. The mean near $7.11 million per award is a quotient from those two packet totals, not a typical unit cost and not a household or client rate. If a later USAspending.gov file adds a few large actions, dollars can jump while 377 recipients barely move. If modifications proliferate, 1,001 can rise while the dollar book stays close to $7,116,316,868.29.

Nothing in the extract splits BLOCK GRANTS FOR COMMUNITY MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES into subaccounts, fiscal years, or outlay versus obligation series beyond the stored totals. Those cuts live in other publications. Treat CFDA 93.958 as an assistance-listing tag on USAspending.gov award files. Open the program page, then the all-programs index, for a same-series ranking. Cite 1,001 awards and 377 recipients next to the dollars so the record count is visible beside $7,116,316,868.29. Name the series as obligations, not outlays, every time the figure is reused. Agency pages show awarding organizations; they do not replace this listing’s obligation total.

Do not convert 1,001 awards into a treatment caseload, or 377 recipients into a clinic census. The 59-state field is place-of-performance coding in the assistance extract. Read the BLOCK GRANTS FOR COMMUNITY MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES hub before inferring a geographic story from the dollar total alone. If a number you expected is missing from $7,116,316,868.29, the usual cause is a different reporting concept rather than a gap in the 1,001 award rows.
