Public Housing Operating Fund in Rhode Island

Rhode Island x 14.850 is a public-housing operating join, not a unit census

This page pairs CFDA 14.850, PUBLIC HOUSING OPERATING FUND, with Rhode Island place of performance. The Public Housing Operating Fund, in program language, is a HUD listing that helps public housing agencies cover operating costs of public housing. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $238,264,537 on 386 awards. The extract does not list units, agencies named, or occupancy rates. Treat the pair as a catalog intersection, not a ranking of which state needs the program more, and not a claim that 386 awards equal that many local offices.

Other HUD listings — Public Housing Capital Fund, Section 8, or different operating codes — sit outside $238,264,537 unless they also carry 14.850. Mixing the Operating Fund with Section 8 or the Capital Fund would invent a combined HUD housing figure the packet never computed. Correlation between this obligation sum and local need statistics is not causation. Those statistics are not in the packet. Place of performance as Rhode Island locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $238,264,537 in the state treasury, and it does not prove every dollar stayed inside Rhode Island after subawards.

386 awards behind $238,264,537

Award count is a row count of assistance awards, including possible annual runs, modifications, and producer-level contracts. It is not a census of public-housing units or a count of residents. Mean obligation is about $617,265.64 if $238,264,537 were divided evenly across 386 lines — a mechanical ratio across a high-volume file, not a typical payment published by the agency.

386 lines cannot be narrated one by one. Sort the Rhode Island 14.850 overlay by amount to see whether a few large rows dominate or the total is spread. This page will not invent recipient names. Open Public Housing Operating Fund in Rhode Island for the stored table. Do not convert 386 into a map of Rhode Island providers. The $238,264,537 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards.

Questions

How much Public Housing Operating Fund is obligated in Rhode Island?

USAspending.gov shows $238,264,537 in obligations for CFDA 14.850 with Rhode Island as place of performance, across 386 awards. The sum is a commitment total on assistance awards, not outlays and not the state's entire federal-spending total. Other HUD listings are outside this join unless they also carry 14.850.

Do 386 awards mean 386 Rhode Island housing authorities received grants?

No. Award count is a row count of assistance awards and can include continuations. It is not a census of public-housing units or a count of residents. The packet does not name recipients. See the Rhode Island 14.850 overlay for named lines as USAspending stored them.

Does this include Section 8 in Rhode Island?

No. The join is CFDA 14.850 crossed with Rhode Island place of performance. Related programs on other CFDA numbers are not inside $238,264,537 unless the award also carries 14.850. Mixing the Operating Fund with Section 8 or the Capital Fund would invent a combined HUD housing figure the packet never computed.

Is the operating-fund total already spent in Rhode Island?

Not on this metric. Obligations are recorded commitments on assistance awards. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $238,264,537 headline is the obligation rollup in SpendingVault's extract. Completed activity and remaining balances are not published in this packet.
