Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments Program in Maryland

What the 14.195–Maryland join is

CFDA 14.195 is titled SECTION 8 HOUSING ASSISTANCE PAYMENTS PROGRAM. Crossed with Maryland place of performance, the obligation sum is $1,083,117,565 on 1,241 awards. The national HAP hub includes other states. Maryland’s spending hub includes other programs. Only this intersection is reported here. $1,083,117,565 is an obligation aggregate from USAspending.gov, not an outlay and not a count of project-based units in Baltimore or Prince George’s County.

A many-award pattern fits project-based HAP: owners and contract administrators often appear as separate assistance records. The join does not name those owners, split Baltimore City from the Eastern Shore, or count assisted units. Packet facts stop at $1,083,117,565, 1,241 awards, MD, and 14.195. Correlation is not causation.

14.195 is not tenant-based HCV in Maryland

Housing Choice Vouchers (CFDA 14.871) is a different HUD catalog. Mixing tenant-based vouchers into $1,083,117,565 would invent a broader rental-assistance total than this cell contains. Facts available: Maryland, CFDA 14.195, $1,083,117,565, 1,241 awards. Contract rents and HAP payment dates are not in the facts.

The catalog title names Housing Assistance Payments, not a claim about Maryland’s affordable-housing shortage. Dividing $1,083,117,565 by 1,241 yields about $872,778 per award—a contract-administrator scale. Unique recipients are unpublished. 1,241 is not a count of buildings.
