Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers in New Jersey

Voucher catalog meeting New Jersey

CFDA 14.871 (SECTION 8 HOUSING CHOICE VOUCHERS) plus New Jersey place of performance produces $2,871,053,188 on 4,474 awards. The national 14.871 hub is unfiltered by state. The New Jersey spending hub is unfiltered by CFDA. This tie is the overlap.

Four thousand four hundred seventy-four awards is a many-PHA pattern: voucher assistance often posts numerous awards to public housing agencies. The join does not list those agencies, split Newark from South Jersey, or count households. Packet facts are $2,871,053,188, 4,474 awards, NJ, and 14.871.

Readers sometimes treat a large CFDA–state total as if it were a budget line the state legislature passed. $2,871,053,188 is not that. It is the USAspending obligation sum on awards tagged 14.871 and NJ. 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 New Jersey against other states on need, performance, or politics.

4474 awards totaling $2,871,053,188 is a high-count voucher cell. The about $641,720 mean is pulled down by that many instruments. Portability across the Hudson does not move NY-coded awards into this NJ total. Households are not the same as award records.

14.871 versus other HUD lines

Project-based Housing Assistance Payments and public housing operating funds use other CFDA numbers. Mixing them into $2,871,053,188 would overstate this cell. School-lunch and transit catalogs in New Jersey are unrelated joins.

Facts here: New Jersey, CFDA 14.871, $2,871,053,188, 4,474 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 $2,871,053,188, 4474 awards, CFDA 14.871, program title Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers, and geography NJ/New Jersey. Any other dollar, year, recipient, or percentage would be invented. Trivial arithmetic from those facts is allowed: 4474 awards into $2,871,053,188 is about $641,720 per award. That quotient is a mean of records, not a typical household, student, or lab.

New Jersey’s HAP-equivalent, if any, would use another HUD number. This page is 14.871. $2,871,053,188 on 4474 awards is vouchers × NJ. Transit and lunch totals are unrelated.
