Emergency Rental Assistance Program in Utah

Utah x 21.023 is an ERA join, not a renter census

This page pairs CFDA 21.023, EMERGENCY RENTAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM, with Utah place of performance. Emergency Rental Assistance, in program language, helped eligible households with rent and related housing costs during the pandemic-era assistance window. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $270,504,724.10 on five awards. The extract does not list households served, average rent paid, or eviction counts. Treat the pair as a catalog intersection, not a ranking of which state needs the program more, and not a claim that five awards equal that many local offices.

Other Treasury or HUD housing listings — Public Housing Operating Fund, rural rental assistance, or different ERA CFDA numbers if they exist — sit outside $270,504,724.10 unless they also carry 21.023. Mixing ERA with LIHEAP, WIC, or rural rental assistance would invent a combined household-aid 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 Utah locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $270,504,724.10 in the state treasury, and it does not prove every dollar stayed inside Utah after subawards.

Five awards behind $270,504,724.10

Mean obligation is about $54.10 million if $270,504,724.10 were divided evenly across five lines. That ratio is not a published grant size. Formula-style or project awards often post as a handful of large rows to a lead agency or a small set of recipients. Award count is a row count, including possible continuations. It is not a census of renter households or a count of landlords paid.

Five awards are scannable on the overlay. This page will not invent recipient names. Open Emergency Rental Assistance Program in Utah for the stored table. Do not convert five awards into a map of Utah providers. The $270,504,724.10 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards. Inspect named lines rather than inferring an inventory.

Questions

How much Emergency Rental Assistance is obligated in Utah?

USAspending.gov shows $270,504,724.10 in obligations for CFDA 21.023 with Utah as place of performance, across five awards. The sum is a commitment total on assistance awards, not outlays and not the state's entire federal-spending total. Other Treasury listings are outside this join unless they also carry 21.023.

Do 5 awards mean 5 Utah housing agencies received grants?

No. Award count is a row count of assistance awards and can include continuations. It is not a census of renter households or a count of landlords paid. The packet does not name recipients. See the Utah 21.023 overlay for named lines as USAspending stored them.

Is this Utah's entire housing assistance budget?

No. The join is CFDA 21.023 crossed with Utah place of performance. Related programs on other CFDA numbers are not inside $270,504,724.10 unless the award also carries 21.023. Mixing ERA with LIHEAP, WIC, or rural rental assistance would invent a combined household-aid figure the packet never computed.

Is the ERA total already paid to Utah landlords?

Not on this metric. Obligations are recorded commitments on assistance awards. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $270,504,724.10 headline is the obligation rollup in SpendingVault's extract. Completed activity and remaining balances are not published in this packet.
