Adoption Assistance obligations in New Mexico

What the 93.659–New Mexico join reports

CFDA 93.659 is titled ADOPTION ASSISTANCE. Crossed with New Mexico place of performance, the obligation sum is $189,097,468 on 7 awards. The national 93.659 hub includes other states. New Mexico’s spending hub includes other programs. Only this intersection is reported here. $189,097,468 is an obligation aggregate from USAspending.gov, not an outlay and not a count of finalized adoptions in Albuquerque or Santa Fe.

Foster Care (Title IV-E) and other child-welfare catalogs use different CFDA numbers. Mixing them into $189,097,468 would invent a broader child-welfare total than this cell contains. Packet facts are $189,097,468, 7 awards, NM, and 93.659. Correlation is not causation. WIC 10.557 and IHS 93.210 are separate New Mexico joins.

Seven awards under New Mexico adoption assistance

Seven awards against $189,097,468 yield a simple mean near $27.01 million. The facts do not publish a median, a range, or unique recipients. 7 is a record count in an aggregate, not 7 counties and not 7 adoptive families. A state child-welfare agency can post multiple instruments across modifications.

With so few instruments, a single large formula award can dominate the mean. Treat 7 as an award-record count, not as seven finished fiscal years. Unique recipient names are unpublished and are not invented here. Downward modifications, if they exist in the raw file, are already netted into the total supplied in the facts.

New Mexico geography on the 93.659 tag

NM is the place-of-performance code. A statewide IV-E adoption award can still appear as records tagged to Santa Fe or another in-state address. Awards coded to Arizona, Colorado, Texas, Utah, or Oklahoma stay outside $189,097,468 even when a family moves across a state line.

New Mexico federal spending is the all-program parent. 93.659 is one row on New Mexico programs. $189.1 million is not the state’s complete federal footprint. Open Adoption Assistance in New Mexico for the filtered table, CFDA 93.659 for the catalog without a New Mexico filter, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those parents into $189,097,468.
