Community Development Block Grants/State's Program and Non-Entitlement Grants in Hawaii in Hawaii

The catalog title already names Hawaii; the join still needs both sides

This tie keeps USAspending assistance where CFDA 14.228 meets Hawaii place of performance. The dollar book is $1,650,071,379. The award count is 7. HUD’s CDBG State’s Program line includes a Hawaii-specific non-entitlement component in the official catalog title. That wording does not replace the join: the page still pairs the CFDA number with Hawaii place-of-performance coding. Seven prime records do not mean seven islands received equal shares.

The join does not prove that Hawaii’s housing-cost index, neighbor-island infrastructure gap, or a particular disaster recovery pipeline caused $1,650,071,379. Those are other series. This packet does not split housing rehab from public facilities. Correlation is not causation.

A reader who treats the cell as Hawaii’s full HUD obligation book has left the CFDA-by-state definition. Entitlement CDBG (a different catalog number) is not this cell. The 7 figure is a record count, including modifications, not a project count.

Seven awards and a blended mean

Seven awards under $1,650,071,379 imply a mean near $235,724,483 per award. State-administered CDBG actions of this size can produce that kind of average when multi-year or supplemental awards share the tape. The packet has no median and no county split among Honolulu, Hawaii, Maui, and Kauai.

Cite both columns. USAspending.gov is the source; SpendingVault does not recast the mean as a typical small-town CDBG project.

Questions

How much CDBG State’s Program spending is in Hawaii?

USAspending.gov shows $1,650,071,379 in CFDA 14.228 obligations coded to Hawaii across 7 awards. The join uses the program number and Hawaii place of performance. The total is obligations, not outlays.

Why does the program name already say Hawaii?

HUD’s catalog title for CFDA 14.228 includes a Hawaii non-entitlement clause. This page still joins that CFDA to Hawaii place of performance. The extract counts 7 award records. The implied mean is about $235,724,483 per award from the two packet facts.

Is $1.65 billion Hawaii’s full federal spending?

No. $1,650,071,379 is only the CDBG State’s Program and Non-Entitlement Grants in Hawaii cell. Other CFDA programs with Hawaii place of performance sit on the statewide hub. Nationwide 14.228 is not limited to this cell.

Do these obligations equal completed CDBG projects?

No. $1,650,071,379 is an obligation sum. Outlays are a different USAspending series. Construction and rehab draws can lag the federal obligation.
