Low-Income Home Energy Assistance (CFDA 93.568) shows $367,821,418.47 in USAspending.gov obligations with South Carolina as place of performance. Twenty-four awards carry that total — a modest list of large assistance rows, not twenty-four utility bills.

The dollars are commitments, not Treasury outlays.

South Carolina x 93.568 is a LIHEAP join, not a household census
This page pairs CFDA 93.568, LOW-INCOME HOME ENERGY ASSISTANCE, with South Carolina place of performance. LIHEAP, in program language, helps eligible households with heating and cooling costs and related energy services. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $367,821,418.47 on 24 awards. The extract does not list households, fuel types, or crisis payments. Treat the pair as a catalog intersection, not a ranking of which state is hotter or colder, and not a claim that 24 awards equal 24 utilities.
Other HHS listings — TANF, Medicaid, or weatherization codes — sit outside $367,821,418.47 unless they also carry 93.568. South Carolina’s VR join on 84.126 is an Education overlay, not an energy-assistance subset. Mixing LIHEAP with VR would invent a combined human-services figure the packet never computed. Correlation between this obligation sum and summer temperatures is not causation. Weather data are not in the packet. Place of performance as South Carolina locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $367,821,418.47 in household fuel accounts.
24 awards behind $367.8 million
Mean obligation is about $15,325,892.44 if $367,821,418.47 were divided evenly across 24 lines. That ratio is not a published grant size. Formula-style LIHEAP awards often post as a handful of rows to a state lead agency, with additional lines possible for continuations. Award count is a row count. It is not a count of counties, utilities, or households.
Twenty-four lines are scannable on the overlay. This page will not invent the lead agency name. Open Low-Income Home Energy Assistance in South Carolina for the stored table. Do not convert 24 into a map of South Carolina fuel dealers. The $367,821,418.47 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards, not benefits issued to households. Inspect named lines rather than inferring a caseload.
