Flood Mitigation Assistance — CFDA 97.029

Flood-mitigation obligations at $815,059,488.03

USAspending.gov records $815,059,488.03 in obligations under CFDA 97.029. Eighty-seven awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $9,368,500 per award. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical elevation invoice and not a cost per structure. Other FEMA hazard-mitigation listings tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $815,059,488.03.

The assistance-listing title is FLOOD MITIGATION ASSISTANCE. CFDA 97.029 is the identifier. Combining 97.029 with Hazard Mitigation Grant Program or BRIC codes would invent a combined mitigation total this packet does not contain. Read the $815,059,488.03 as the obligation book tagged 97.029 only.

33 recipients in 32 jurisdictions

Thirty-three recipients share 87 awards, or about 2.6 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $815,059,488.03 evenly would assign about $24.7 million per recipient. That density is a state-applicant pattern: a small named-agency headcount carrying a few large assistance rows. The packet does not list the 33.

Thirty-two jurisdictions in the geographic count nearly match the 33-recipient headcount. Flood-mitigation dollars follow funded NFIP-participating applicants, not equal shares across every state. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table. Recipient count is organizational, not a census of properties elevated.

Award rows are not a buyout census

Among DHS listings, 97.029 is a low-row, high-dollar file: 87 awards against 33 recipients. Award count is a weak proxy for “number of mitigation projects” and a worse proxy for structures treated. Recipients (33) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (87) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report repetitive-loss properties, cubic yards of fill, or claims avoided. Citing 87 as buyouts would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, jurisdictions. The $815,059,488.03 stock is the obligation figure from USAspending.gov.

Obligations versus flood-mitigation outlays

The $815,059,488.03 is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against Flood Mitigation Assistance awards — are not in the packet. A mitigation file can show a large obligation stock while construction draws follow multi-year project closeout. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Use CFDA 97.029 to size this flood-mitigation listing in the assistance file. Do not use it as an NFIP claims dashboard. Those series live elsewhere. This page reports the obligation book tagged 97.029.

What the 97.029 tables omit

The program hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a flood-map inventory, not a claims file, and not a property-elevation log. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $815,059,488.03. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 87 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 32 jurisdictions is a coding field. Read the program page before treating those cells as equal shares of flood risk. Recipient dollars, if shown on the hub, are still obligation amounts, not cash already paid to state emergency agencies.

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

A researcher comparing 97.029 with Hazard Mitigation Grant Program or BRIC codes should keep CFDA numbers separate. The 33-recipient headcount on 87 awards is a concentrated mitigation fingerprint with about $9,368,500 per award on average. Quote $815,059,488.03 as the USAspending obligation stock for Flood Mitigation Assistance only. Buyouts, elevations, and claims avoided remain outside the packet. Outlays are a separate column.
