Hazard Mitigation Grant in Louisiana

Eighteen HMGP records, one mitigation cell

This tie keeps USAspending assistance where CFDA 97.039 meets Louisiana place of performance. The dollar book is $1,263,789,376.79. The award count is 18. Hazard Mitigation Grant Program funds typically post after presidential declarations as awards to the state, which then subgrants to parishes and other applicants. Eighteen prime records do not equal 18 elevation projects, and they do not equal 18 parishes.

The join does not prove that a particular hurricane, repetitive-loss inventory, or levee-system map caused $1,263,789,376.79. Those are other series. This packet does not split acquisitions from elevations or from other eligible activities. Correlation is not causation.

A reader who treats the cell as Louisiana’s full FEMA obligation book has left the CFDA-by-state definition. Individuals and Households Program (CFDA 97.048) is a different cell on the same statewide stack. The 18 figure is a record count, including modifications, not a project count.

Eighteen awards and a blended mean

Eighteen awards under $1,263,789,376.79 imply a mean near $70,210,521 per award. A few large post-declaration HMGP actions can dominate that average. The packet has no median and no share on the largest award.

Cite both columns. USAspending.gov is the source; SpendingVault does not recast the mean as a typical house-elevation cost or as a typical parish subgrant.

Questions

How much Hazard Mitigation Grant spending is in Louisiana?

USAspending.gov shows $1,263,789,376.79 in CFDA 97.039 obligations coded to Louisiana across 18 awards. The join uses the program number and Louisiana place of performance. The total is obligations, not outlays.

Does 18 awards mean 18 elevation projects?

No. The extract counts 18 award records tagged to CFDA 97.039 and Louisiana. State-level HMGP actions and modifications can share the tape. The implied mean is about $70,210,521 per award from the two packet facts. That mean is not a typical house-elevation cost.

Is $1.26 billion Louisiana’s full federal disaster spending?

No. $1,263,789,376.79 is only the Hazard Mitigation Grant cell. Other CFDA programs with Louisiana place of performance sit on the statewide hub. Nationwide 97.039 is not limited to Louisiana.

Do these obligations equal completed mitigation projects?

No. $1,263,789,376.79 is an obligation sum. Outlays are a different USAspending series. Construction and acquisition draws can lag the federal obligation by years.
