Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers in Washington

Voucher catalog × Washington State

CFDA 14.871 (SECTION 8 HOUSING CHOICE VOUCHERS) plus Washington place of performance produces $2,542,251,014.48 on 2,474 awards. The national 14.871 hub is unfiltered by state. The Washington spending hub is unfiltered by CFDA. This tie is the overlap.

Two thousand four hundred seventy-four awards is a many-PHA pattern. The join does not list those agencies, split Seattle from Spokane, or count households. Packet facts are $2,542,251,014.48, 2,474 awards, WA, and 14.871.

Readers sometimes treat a large CFDA–state total as if it were a budget line the state legislature passed. $2,542,251,014.48 is not that. It is the USAspending obligation sum on awards tagged 14.871 and WA. 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 Washington against other states on need, performance, or politics.

2474 awards totaling $2,542,251,014.48 (about $1.03 million mean) is HCV tagged WA—Washington State. D.C. is a different geography. Research, CRF, and transit capital in Washington are other catalogs. Households ≠ award rows.

14.871 versus other Washington catalogs

Allergy and infectious-diseases research, Coronavirus Relief Fund, and transit capital grants in Washington use other CFDA numbers. Mixing any of them into $2,542,251,014.48 would overstate this cell. Project-based HAP is a different HUD catalog as well.

Facts here: Washington, CFDA 14.871, $2,542,251,014.48, 2,474 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 $2,542,251,014.48, 2474 awards, CFDA 14.871, program title Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers, and geography WA/Washington. Any other dollar, year, recipient, or percentage would be invented. Trivial arithmetic from those facts is allowed: 2474 awards into $2,542,251,014.48 is about $1.03 million per award. That quotient is a mean of records, not a typical household, student, or lab.

Washington CRF and transit-capital cells are other programs. $2,542,251,014.48 is 14.871 × WA. High award counts are normal for voucher catalogs and do not mean 2474 households.
