Hazard Mitigation Grant — CFDA 97.039

What $8.73 billion on 477 awards means

Assistance listing 97.039 is titled HAZARD MITIGATION GRANT in the USAspending.gov files this site indexes. The obligation total on that code is $8,733,030,027.31. An obligation is a recorded federal commitment on an award. It is not a construction invoice already paid.

477 awards sit under that dollar book. Dividing $8,733,030,027.31 by 477 produces a mean near $18.3 million per award record. That quotient is derived from the two packet totals. It is not a typical home-elevation cost and not a per-project buyout. Mitigation dollars often sit on a modest number of large state actions, which is why 477 records can carry $8,733,030,027.31.

59 organizational recipients appear on those rows. 56 states are coded for place of performance. Neither count converts the obligation total into properties mitigated.

59 recipients across 56 states

CFDA 97.039 lists 59 recipients and 56 states against 477 awards. Recipient count is not unique households. It is how many organizational recipients the assistance extract stores. A state emergency-management agency can appear on multiple awards; 59 is not a headcount of local governments.

Fifty-six states is a coded-jurisdiction span, including territories if they appear in the file’s state field. Because 477 awards are few relative to the dollar total, a handful of large state actions can move $8,733,030,027.31 without a matching jump in the 59-recipient count.

Obligations versus mitigation outlays

USAspending.gov publishes obligations on assistance awards. The $8,733,030,027.31 figure for CFDA 97.039 can include commitments that will disburse as projects advance. A separate disaster-declaration table 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 97.039 program page. Do not stretch 477 awards or 59 recipients to cover every mitigation dollar tagged under another listing.

What the 97.039 tables omit

The Hazard Mitigation Grant hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a property roster, not a flood-map file, and not a project completion calendar. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $8,733,030,027.31.

Place-of-performance on 56 states is a coding field. A statewide grantee coded to one cell can dominate geography while projects sit in many localities. Read the program page before any state split.

A worked reading of the 97.039 extract

Start from the four packet facts on CFDA 97.039: $8,733,030,027.31 in obligations, 477 awards, 59 recipients, and 56 states. The mean near $18.31 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 59 recipients barely move. If modifications proliferate, 477 can rise while the dollar book stays close to $8,733,030,027.31.

Nothing in the extract splits HAZARD MITIGATION GRANT into subaccounts, fiscal years, or outlay versus obligation series beyond the stored totals. Those cuts live in other publications. Treat CFDA 97.039 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 477 awards and 59 recipients next to the dollars so the record count is visible beside $8,733,030,027.31. 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.

A complete working citation for this listing is $8,733,030,027.31 in USAspending.gov obligations for CFDA 97.039, covering 477 awards, 59 recipients, and 56 states, indexed on SpendingVault. Do not convert 477 awards into properties elevated, or 59 recipients into a household count. The 56-state field is place-of-performance coding in the assistance extract. Read the HAZARD MITIGATION GRANT hub before inferring a geographic story from the dollar total alone. If a number you expected is missing from $8,733,030,027.31, the usual cause is a different reporting concept rather than a gap in the 477 award rows.

Questions

How much is obligated under Hazard Mitigation Grant?

USAspending.gov assistance awards indexed on SpendingVault show $8,733,030,027.31 in obligations for CFDA 97.039. That sum is an obligation total, not a Treasury outlay total and not a count of properties. The same extract lists 477 awards, 59 recipients, and 56 states.

Why does CFDA 97.039 have only 59 recipients?

The indexed recipient count is 59 organizational recipients on 477 awards. Mitigation dollars often sit on a relatively small number of large state actions, which is why $8,733,030,027.31 can coexist with a short recipient list. The 59 figure is a file statistic, not a count of households. 56 states are coded for place of performance.

Is the $8.73 billion already spent on mitigation projects?

Cite CFDA 97.039 with the obligation total from USAspending.gov assistance awards, not an outlay series. The program hub on SpendingVault holds the award rows behind those totals. Keep the series labeled as obligations from USAspending.gov assistance awards; do not swap in an outlay figure from another report.

How many states appear on CFDA 97.039?

The extract codes 56 states for Hazard Mitigation Grant. That count is place-of-performance geography in USAspending.gov assistance files, not a map of every project site. Those rows still sit under the $8,733,030,027.31 obligation total and the 59-recipient count. The program hub on SpendingVault holds the award rows behind those totals. Keep the series labeled as obligations from USAspending.gov assistance awards; do not swap in an outlay figure from another report.
