Adoption Assistance obligations in Arizona

What the 93.659–Arizona join is

CFDA 93.659 is titled ADOPTION ASSISTANCE. Crossed with Arizona place of performance, obligations sum to $1,038,861,491 on 22 awards. The national Adoption Assistance hub includes other states. Arizona’s spending hub includes other programs. Only this intersection is reported here. $1,038,861,491 is an obligation aggregate from USAspending.gov, not an outlay and not a count of finalized adoptions in Phoenix or Tucson.

Twenty-two awards is a concentrated Title IV-E pattern: adoption assistance typically posts as a modest number of large assistance instruments to a state. The join does not name DCS, list counties, or count children. Packet facts stop at $1,038,861,491, 22 awards, AZ, and 93.659. Correlation is not causation.

93.659 is not Foster Care Title IV-E

Foster Care Title IV-E (CFDA 93.658) is a different HHS catalog. Mixing foster-care dollars into $1,038,861,491 would invent a broader child-welfare total than this cell contains. Facts available: Arizona, CFDA 93.659, $1,038,861,491, 22 awards. Subsidy rates, tribal IV-E agreements, and caseload counts are not in the facts.

The catalog title names Adoption Assistance, not a ranking of time-to-permanency. Dividing $1,038,861,491 by 22 yields about $47.22 million per award—a state-agency scale. Unique recipients are unpublished. 22 is not a count of families.

Arizona geography on the adoption-assistance tag

AZ is the place-of-performance code. A statewide IV-E award can still appear as records tagged to Phoenix, Tucson, or another in-state address. Awards coded to California, New Mexico, Nevada, or Utah stay outside $1,038,861,491 even when a kinship network crosses those borders. The code does not convert $1.04 billion into a county caseload map.

Arizona federal spending is the all-program parent. 93.659 is one row on Arizona programs. $1.04 billion is not the state’s complete federal footprint. Open Adoption Assistance in Arizona for the filtered table, CFDA 93.659 for 93.659 without an Arizona filter, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those parents into $1,038,861,491.

Reading 22 awards under $1.04 billion

$1,038,861,491 ÷ 22 is about $47.22 million per award. That average is a state-agency scale, not a typical monthly subsidy. It is not a median. Net obligations can include downward modifications; the total shown is the aggregate in the facts. Treat 22 as a record count, not as 22 finished adoptions.

USAspending obligations can be positive new awards or net of downward modifications; $1,038,861,491 is the net total supplied in the facts. Without a transaction register, you cannot see how many of the 22 rows are continuations, renewals, or corrections. Later ingests can restate $1,038,861,491 without changing the join key of 93.659 and AZ.

What the Adoption Assistance–Arizona pair does not prove

A large 93.659 total tagged to Arizona does not measure whether permanency improved, and it does not equal subsidies paid to families. FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell. Correlation is not causation. The headline remains $1,038,861,491 on 22 awards for Adoption Assistance in Arizona.

Keep both sides of the join: Adoption Assistance and Arizona, obligations only. Do not annualize $1,038,861,491 without a year field—this packet publishes none. Do not treat 22 as a child census. Quote USAspending.gov and the overlay path rather than a child-welfare story.

Using the Adoption Assistance–Arizona overlay

The overlay target is the Arizona × CFDA 93.659 table. Open Adoption Assistance in Arizona when you want the same $1,038,861,491 / 22-award cell in the site’s data chrome. CFDA 93.659 drops the Arizona filter. Arizona federal spending drops the CFDA filter. Arizona programs lists other catalogs beside 93.659. All spending ties indexes other pairs.

This page exists because two tables meet: a CFDA program and a place-of-performance state. It does not exist to argue that Arizona won or lost federal money, that donations paid for the awards, or that obligations equal cash. The pair is 93.659 plus AZ. Obligations of $1,038,861,491 are not outlays.
