Disaster Assistance to Individuals and Households — CFDA 97.048

Household disaster assistance at $15.5 billion

USAspending.gov records $15,481,365,496.83 in obligations under CFDA 97.048. Seven hundred ninety-one awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $19.6 million per award. Individual-and-households disaster assistance can be recorded as large award actions to administering entities rather than one USAspending row per survivor, which keeps award count in the hundreds while dollars sit in the tens of billions.

The assistance-listing title is FEDERAL DISASTER ASSISTANCE TO INDIVIDUALS AND HOUSEHOLDS IN PRESIDENTIAL DECLARED DISASTER AREAS. CFDA 97.048 is the join key. Other disaster listings — public assistance, hazard mitigation — are separate CFDA numbers and are not included in the $15.5 billion.

Sixty-eight recipients, 56 states

Sixty-eight recipients share 791 awards, or about 12 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $15.5 billion evenly would assign about $228 million per recipient. The packet does not name the 68. A short organizational roster against a 56-state geographic field is consistent with a national disaster-assistance CFDA administered through a limited set of entities.

Fifty-six states in the geographic count is a wide coding in the USAspending state field, typically including the District of Columbia and territories. It is not a map of every declared disaster, and it does not equalize dollars toward the most-hit counties. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table.

Awards are not survivor applications

Award count (791) is a count of assistance records, including modifications as stored. It is not registrations, inspections, or households approved. Many survivors can be paid under one federal award row. Citing 791 as families helped would be a unit error.

The packet does not name storms, fires, or declaration numbers. The title refers to presidentially declared disaster areas as the listing’s scope; the four facts remain dollars, awards, recipients, and states.

Obligations versus checks to households

The $15.5 billion is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid as housing or other individual assistance — are not in the packet. An award can be obligated for a declaration while payments to survivors continue for months. Deobligations after closeout reduce the stock; this page does not estimate unused balances.

Use CFDA 97.048 to size individual-and-households disaster assistance in the assistance file. Do not use it as a damage estimate. Insured losses and uninsured damages are not in this extract.
