What the 93.575–North Carolina join is
CFDA 93.575 is titled CHILD CARE AND DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT. Filtered to North Carolina place of performance, obligations sum to $1,793,790,042 on 18 awards. The national CCDBG hub has no North Carolina filter. The North Carolina spending hub has no CFDA filter. This tie is the intersection. $1,793,790,042 is an obligation aggregate from USAspending.gov, not an outlay and not a count of subsidized children in Raleigh or Charlotte.
Eighteen awards is a concentrated block-grant pattern: a state typically receives a modest number of large assistance awards and then allocates to providers. The join does not name the North Carolina Division of Child Development, list counties, or count subsidized children. Packet facts stop at $1,793,790,042, 18 awards, NC, and 93.575.
93.575 is not Head Start or CCDF matching
Head Start (CFDA 93.600) and Child Care Mandatory and Matching Funds (CFDA 93.596) are different catalogs. Mixing those dollars into $1,793,790,042 would invent a broader early-care total than this cell contains. Facts available: North Carolina, CFDA 93.575, $1,793,790,042, 18 awards. Copays, quality ratings, and provider addresses are not in the facts.
The catalog title names the Child Care and Development Block Grant, not a ranking of county wait lists. Dividing $1,793,790,042 by 18 yields about $99.66 million per award—a classic block-grant silhouette of few instruments and large dollars. Unique recipients are unpublished. 18 is not a count of providers.
North Carolina geography on the CCDBG tag
NC is the place-of-performance code. A statewide block can still appear as records tagged to Raleigh, Charlotte, or another in-state address. Awards coded to Virginia, South Carolina, Tennessee, or Georgia stay outside $1,793,790,042 even when a commuting parent crosses the border. The code does not convert $1.79 billion into a county slot map.
North Carolina federal spending is the all-program parent. 93.575 is one row on North Carolina programs. $1.79 billion is not the state’s complete federal footprint.

Reading 18 awards under $1.79 billion
$1,793,790,042 ÷ 18 is about $99.66 million per award. That average is a state-agency scale, not a typical family copay and not a per-child subsidy. It is not a median. Net obligations can include downward modifications; the total shown is the aggregate in the facts. Treat 18 as a record count, not as 18 finished provider contracts.
USAspending obligations can be positive new awards or net of downward modifications; $1,793,790,042 is the net total supplied in the facts. Without a transaction register, you cannot see how many of the 18 rows are continuations, renewals, or corrections. Later ingests can restate $1,793,790,042 without changing the join key of 93.575 and NC.
What the CCDBG–North Carolina pair does not prove
A large 93.575 total tagged to North Carolina does not measure whether parent copays fell, and it does not equal seats filled. FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell. Correlation is not causation. The headline remains $1,793,790,042 on 18 awards for the Child Care and Development Block Grant in North Carolina.
Keep both sides of the join: Child Care and Development Block Grant and North Carolina, obligations only. Do not annualize $1,793,790,042 without a year field—this packet publishes none. Do not treat 18 as a provider census. Quote USAspending.gov and the overlay path rather than a workforce story.
