Key figures

Homeland security grant obligations at $2.87 billion
USAspending.gov records $2,868,954,444.30 in obligations under CFDA 97.067. One hundred eighty-seven awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $15.3 million per award — far larger than a typical competitive project grant and consistent with state-level formula awards that bundle several years or several sub-programs into one row. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical local equipment invoice.
The assistance-listing title is HOMELAND SECURITY GRANT PROGRAM. CFDA 97.067 is the identifier. Other preparedness listings tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $2.87 billion. Combining those codes would invent a combined homeland-security total this packet does not contain.
87 recipients across 56 jurisdictions
Eighty-seven recipients share 187 awards, or about 2.1 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $2.87 billion evenly would assign about $33.0 million per recipient. That pattern matches a short roster of state administrative agencies and similar pass-through entities, not thousands of local first-responder organizations. The packet does not list the 87. Recipient count is the organizational headcount on the federal award, not a census of fire departments or police agencies that may receive subawards.
Fifty-six jurisdictions in the geographic count include states plus territories and the District in the USAspending state field. Formula dollars still vary by allocation rules the packet does not reprint. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table.
Award count is not an equipment or exercise count
Among preparedness listings, 97.067 is a low-row, high-dollar file: 187 rows against 87 recipients. Multi-year awards and amendments can inflate award count relative to unique allocations. Award count is therefore a weak proxy for “number of homeland-security projects.” Recipients (87) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (187) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.
The packet does not report radios purchased, hours trained, or incidents prevented. Citing 187 as equipment lots would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, jurisdictions.
Obligations versus preparedness outlays
The $2.87 billion is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against homeland-security grant awards — are not in the packet. A state administrative agency can show a large obligation stock while local drawdowns follow a slower calendar. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. A remaining-balance question is an outlay question this extract does not answer.

What the 97.067 tables omit
The Homeland Security Grant Program hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a subaward ledger, not an equipment registry, and not a threat assessment. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $2,868,954,444.30. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 187 award rows.
Place-of-performance on 56 jurisdictions is a coding field. Read the program page before treating those cells as equal shares. Recipient dollars, if shown on the hub, are still obligation amounts, not cash already spent by local agencies.
