Rural Rental Assistance Payments in Maine

Maine x 10.427 is a rental-assistance join, not a unit census

This page pairs CFDA 10.427, RURAL RENTAL ASSISTANCE PAYMENTS, with Maine place of performance. Rural Rental Assistance, in program language, helps eligible tenants in USDA-financed rural rental properties pay rent. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $313,974,699.40 on 309 awards. The extract does not list properties, units, or tenants. Treat the pair as a catalog intersection, not a ranking of which state has more rural housing need, and not a claim that 309 awards equal 309 buildings.

Other USDA listings — Section 515 rural rental, SNAP, or different Rural Development codes — sit outside $313,974,699.40 unless they also carry 10.427. Mixing rental assistance with SNAP would invent a combined state figure the packet never computed. Correlation between this obligation sum and vacancy rates is not causation. Vacancy figures are not in the packet. Place of performance as Maine locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $313,974,699.40 in the state treasury.

309 awards behind $314.0 million

Award count is a row count of assistance awards, including possible property-level lines, annual renewals, and modifications. It is not a census of apartments, landlords, or tenants. Mean obligation is about $1,016,099.35 if $313,974,699.40 were divided evenly across 309 lines — a mechanical ratio, not a published per-unit subsidy, and not a typical monthly payment. The packet has no elderly versus family split inside 10.427.

Three hundred nine lines are too many to narrate one by one. Sort the Maine 10.427 overlay by amount to see concentration. This page will not invent property names. Open Rural Rental Assistance Payments in Maine for the stored table. Do not convert 309 into a map of Maine apartment buildings. The $313,974,699.40 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards. Inspect named lines rather than inferring a unit census.

Questions

How much Rural Rental Assistance Payments funding is obligated in Maine?

USAspending.gov shows $313,974,699.40 in obligations for CFDA 10.427 with Maine as place of performance, across 309 awards. The sum is a commitment total on assistance awards, not outlays and not Maine’s full housing budget. Other USDA listings are outside this join unless they also carry 10.427.

Do 309 awards mean 309 Maine apartment buildings?

No. Award count is a row count of assistance awards and can include property-level lines and renewals. It is not a building or tenant census. The packet does not name properties. See the Maine 10.427 overlay for named lines as USAspending stored them.

Does this include HUD Section 8 vouchers in Maine?

No. This page is CFDA 10.427, Rural Rental Assistance Payments under USDA Rural Development. HUD voucher programs use different CFDA numbers. Those dollars are not inside $313,974,699.40 unless the award also carries 10.427. The extract has no unit table.

Is $314 million already paid as Maine rent subsidies?

Not on this metric. Obligations are recorded commitments on assistance awards. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $313,974,699.40 headline is the obligation rollup in SpendingVault’s extract. Contract draws and remaining balances are not published in this packet.
