Adoption Assistance federal funding in Arkansas

Arkansas x 93.659 is an Adoption Assistance join, not a case census

This page pairs CFDA 93.659, ADOPTION ASSISTANCE, with Arkansas place of performance. Adoption Assistance, in program language, is a Title IV-E listing that helps states with subsidies and related costs for eligible adopted children from foster care. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $253,151,374 on seven awards. The extract does not list children served, average subsidy, or wait times. Treat the pair as a catalog intersection, not a ranking of which state needs the program more, and not a claim that seven awards equal that many local offices.

Other HHS child-welfare listings — Foster Care Title IV-E on 93.658, child-support services, or different IV-E codes — sit outside $253,151,374 unless they also carry 93.659. Mixing Adoption Assistance with Foster Care Title IV-E would invent a combined child-welfare 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 Arkansas locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $253,151,374 in the state treasury, and it does not prove every dollar stayed inside Arkansas after subawards.

Seven awards behind $253,151,374

Mean obligation is about $36.16 million if $253,151,374 were divided evenly across seven 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 adopted children or a count of adoptive families.

Seven awards are scannable on the overlay. This page will not invent recipient names. Open Adoption Assistance in Arkansas for the stored table. Do not convert seven awards into a map of Arkansas providers. The $253,151,374 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards. Inspect named lines rather than inferring an inventory.

IV-E adoption obligations are not subsidies already paid

Assistance awards often obligate to a state or recipient and draw as activities proceed. The $253,151,374 headline is the obligation sum, not a punch-list of subsidies already deposited with families and not a Treasury outlay total. No fiscal year is attached. An agency allocation table dated to a particular year is not automatically this join unless it uses CFDA 93.659, Arkansas geography, and the obligation metric.

The listing title is Adoption Assistance. This extract does not split maintenance subsidies from nonrecurring adoption costs, and it does not split federal from state match. Those cuts would require award documentation beyond the packet facts. This page will not invent an activity-type share. Title IV-E adoption awards often post as a small number of large rows to a state lead agency. Do not convert the award count into a map of counties or private agencies.

What the Arkansas Adoption Assistance table omits

The extract has no children served, average subsidy, or wait times. Facts remain $253,151,374, seven awards, CFDA 93.659, and Arkansas. This page will not invent a ranking against other states' 93.659 joins. Place-of-performance as a state code locates tagged awards; it does not by itself explain recipient type.

Arkansas federal spending and Arkansas programs place 93.659 among other listings. CFDA 93.659 is the national catalog line. All spending ties indexes other CFDA x state pairs. Mixing those shelves would invent a share of HHS spending the packet never computed. The $253,151,374 figure is the tagged pair only.
