93.659 is not Foster Care Title IV-E

Foster Care Title IV-E (CFDA 93.658) is a different HHS catalog. Mixing foster-care dollars into $1,038,861,491 would invent a broader child-welfare total than this cell contains. Facts available: Arizona, CFDA 93.659, $1,038,861,491, 22 awards. Subsidy rates, tribal IV-E agreements, and caseload counts are not in the facts.

The catalog title names Adoption Assistance, not a ranking of time-to-permanency. Dividing $1,038,861,491 by 22 yields about $47.22 million per award—a state-agency scale. Unique recipients are unpublished. 22 is not a count of families.
