Adoption Assistance in Maine

How CFDA 93.659 meets Maine

The cell sums award obligations with CFDA 93.659 and a ME place-of-performance tag. $168,394,462.48 is that sum. It is not a ranking of Maine against other states. Campaign-finance tables are a different dataset; FEC donations do not fund these USAspending obligations.

Six awards is a small Title IV-E style file: adoption assistance often posts as a handful of statewide records rather than a child-level extract. The join does not name recipients. Packet facts are $168,394,462.48, 6 awards, ME, and 93.659. Correlation is not causation. FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell. Keep Adoption Assistance and Maine together when reading $168,394,462.48.

Adoption assistance as a listing, not a family file

CFDA 93.659 is ADOPTION ASSISTANCE. Packet facts on the program side stop at the name Adoption Assistance, the number 93.659, $168,394,462.48, and 6 awards. This packet lists no award recipients and no contractor names. Mixing this listing with other child-welfare catalog lines that use different CFDA numbers would invent a combined total the packet never computed. ADOPTION ASSISTANCE is the catalog title. Six awards is a small Title IV-E style file: adoption assistance often posts as a handful of statewide records rather than a child-level extract. The join does not convert dollars into adoptions, families, or agencies. Neighbor-state Adoption Assistance joins are other pairs.

Adoption Assistance is not a foster-care twin even though both sit in child-welfare catalogs. This page is only CFDA 93.659 crossed with Maine. Six award records can still sum to $168,394,462.48. The packet does not name children, families, or courts. A 93.659 award tagged to New Hampshire stays outside this Maine cell.

Maine place of performance on 93.659

Place of performance in Maine is a USAspending geography field. Portland, Bangor, or Augusta folklore may send a reader here; those stories are not a metro split in this packet. Awards can list ME while later work occurs elsewhere. Neighbor codes (New Hampshire and Massachusetts) stay outside $168,394,462.48. Place of performance can differ from where a recipient is headquartered. This packet does not publish either split. Neighbor-state Adoption Assistance joins are other pairs, not addends.

Six awards, not six named agencies

6 is the award-record count. It is not 6 adoptions, families, or agencies. A mean of about $28,065,743.75 if $168,394,462.48 were divided evenly across 6 lines is arithmetic, not a typical payment. Unique vendors are unpublished. Treat six as a record count, not a unit census. A later USAspending ingest can restate both $168,394,462.48 and the 6-award count without changing the join keys. Agency splits are omitted from this packet. No fiscal year is in the facts, so none is cited here.
