Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers in Maryland

Voucher catalog meeting Maryland

CFDA 14.871 (SECTION 8 HOUSING CHOICE VOUCHERS) plus Maryland place of performance produces $2,223,014,519 on 1,546 awards. The national 14.871 hub is unfiltered by state. The Maryland spending hub is unfiltered by CFDA. This tie is the overlap.

One thousand five hundred forty-six awards is a many-PHA pattern: voucher assistance often posts numerous awards to public housing agencies. The join does not list those agencies, split Baltimore from the suburbs, or count households. Packet facts are $2,223,014,519, 1,546 awards, MD, and 14.871.

Readers sometimes treat a large CFDA–state total as if it were a budget line the state legislature passed. $2,223,014,519 is not that. It is the USAspending obligation sum on awards tagged 14.871 and MD. The overlay table at the program-in-state path is the same cell rendered as a page; this narrative is the join explained in prose. Nothing here ranks Maryland against other states on need, performance, or politics.

1546 awards totaling $2,223,014,519 (about $1.44 million mean) is HCV tagged Maryland. PBGC insurance, military medical research, and 1332 waivers are other Maryland catalogs. Portability into Virginia or D.C. does not import those states’ awards.

14.871 versus other Maryland catalogs

Pension Plan Termination Insurance, military medical research, and 1332 waivers in Maryland use other CFDA numbers. Mixing any of them into $2,223,014,519 would overstate this cell. Project-based HAP is a different HUD catalog as well.

Facts here: Maryland, CFDA 14.871, $2,223,014,519, 1,546 awards. Payment standards, landlord names, and waiting-list length are not in the facts. The catalog title names vouchers, not a rent-burden study.

The only numeric facts on this packet are $2,223,014,519, 1546 awards, CFDA 14.871, program title Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers, and geography MD/Maryland. Any other dollar, year, recipient, or percentage would be invented. Trivial arithmetic from those facts is allowed: 1546 awards into $2,223,014,519 is about $1.44 million per award. That quotient is a mean of records, not a typical household, student, or lab.

Maryland’s other large catalogs in this slice are insurance, military medical R&D, and 1332 waivers. $2,223,014,519 is vouchers. 1546 awards at about $1.44 million mean is the HCV silhouette, not those other programs.
