PHHS block-grant obligations at $464.8M
USAspending.gov records $464,779,494.16 in obligations under CFDA 93.991. Those 183 awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $2.54 million per award. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical award and not a unit cost for screenings completed, chronic-disease cases prevented, or local health departments funded. Other CDC preventive-health or block-grant listings under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $464,779,494.16.
The assistance-listing title is PREVENTIVE HEALTH AND HEALTH SERVICES BLOCK GRANT. CFDA 93.991 is the identifier. Read the $464.8M headline — $464,779,494.16 in the award file — as the obligation book tagged 93.991 only. USAspending.gov assistance awards are the source. This page does not convert obligations into outlays or into a count of screenings completed, chronic-disease cases prevented, or local health departments funded.
183 awards on 61 health agencies
61 recipients share 183 awards. That is about 3.0 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $464,779,494.16 evenly would assign about $7.62 million per recipient. That density is a packet quotient, not a typical grant size and not a cost per unit of screenings completed, chronic-disease cases prevented, or local health departments funded. The packet does not list the 61 named organizations. Read $464,779,494.16 only against CFDA 93.991.
Fifty-nine jurisdictions cover states, territories, and extra coded entities. Block-grant dollars follow administering health agencies, not equal shares of preventable disease. Place-of-performance amounts, if shown, live on the program table. Recipient count is organizational, not a census of screenings completed, chronic-disease cases prevented, or local health departments funded. A simple average is about $2.54 million per award. Combining 93.991 with other CDC preventive-health or block-grant listings under different CFDA numbers would invent a combined total this packet does not contain.
Award rows are not a screening census
Among assistance listings, 93.991 is a state-health-agency block file: 183 awards against 61 named recipients spanning 59 jurisdictions. Award count is a weak proxy for “number of projects” and a worse proxy for screenings completed, chronic-disease cases prevented, or local health departments funded. The recipient field (61 recipients) tells you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (183) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.
The packet does not report screenings completed, chronic-disease cases prevented, or local health departments funded. Citing 183 as that unit would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, jurisdictions. The $464,779,494.16 stock is the obligation figure from USAspending.gov. Sixty-one recipients across 59 jurisdictions is a state-health formula fingerprint.
Obligations versus block-grant outlays
The $464,779,494.16 is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against Preventive Health and Health Services Block Grant awards — are not in the packet. A file can show a large obligation stock while draws, reimbursements, or closeouts follow a different schedule. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. Treasury outlays are a separate series.

What the 93.991 tables omit
Geographic coding covers 59 jurisdictions. Fifty-nine jurisdictions cover states, territories, and extra coded entities. Block-grant dollars follow administering health agencies, not equal shares of preventable disease. It is not a clinical-outcomes dashboard, not a Medicaid total, and not a count of every local health department. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $464,779,494.16.
Place-of-performance on 59 jurisdictions is a coding field. Read the program page before treating those cells as equal shares of Preventive Health and Health Services Block Grant funding. Recipient dollars, if shown on the hub, are still obligation amounts, not cash already paid.
