Port of New York and New Jersey folklore, FEMA sandy-recovery talk, and TSA/airport stories all land on Homeland Security in New Jersey. This packet does not isolate a component or a storm year. The pair is Department of Homeland Security and New Jersey — not New Jersey’s entire federal inflow and not cash already paid. Average obligation is about $2.96 million ($7,723,787,445.54 ÷ 2,612).

What the DHS–New Jersey join is

Awarding agency 070 and place-of-performance state NJ meet here. $7,723,787,445.54 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Department of Homeland Security’s nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to New Jersey, and not an outlay register. Operating components under 070 can share the cell. Similar dollar scale to other DHS-state joins does not imply the same component mix.

2,612 is a moderate row count, consistent with a mix of formula vehicles and project awards, without naming those vehicles. Modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. Dividing $7,723,787,445.54 by 2,612 yields about $2.96 million per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line.

Open Department of Homeland Security in New Jersey for the live filtered table, New Jersey federal spending for every awarding agency in the state extract, Department of Homeland Security for agency 070 without a New Jersey filter, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $7,723,787,445.54.

Awarding agency 070 as the DHS side

USAspending labels awarding agency 070 as Department of Homeland Security. That code produced $7,723,787,445.54 when crossed with New Jersey place of performance. The agency-wide 070 hub does not require NJ geography. The New Jersey hub does not require DHS. Only the overlay applies both filters, which is why this tie cites 2,612 awards.

A port-security inventory and a disaster-declaration ranking are unpublished. 2,612 awards is a moderate DHS book, thicker than Arizona’s 941-row DHS file in this slice. A second DHS slice on another state uses the same agency code and a different dollar total. Do not treat New Jersey’s 070 cell as a synonym for every DHS account.

New Jersey as place of performance (NJ)

New Jersey on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to New Jersey residents. Awards can list NJ while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged New York, Pennsylvania, or Delaware stay on those ties even when the harbor is shared. Newark, Jersey City, and the rest of NJ share one stamp. Do not add NY-tagged awards into this cell.

New Jersey federal spending shows how agency 070 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same geography. $7,723,787,445.54 is one column in that table, not the table. This packet does not split New Jersey by county, metro, or congressional district.

Obligations, not outlays

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $7,723,787,445.54 is that kind of sum for Department of Homeland Security inside New Jersey coding. Later deobligations, recoveries, or payment schedules can change what leaves the Treasury without this join rewriting itself into a cash register. Assistance and contract awards can share the same awarding-agency rollup; this packet does not split them.

New Jersey’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 2,612-row DHS cell leaves USAspending.gov. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $7,723,787,445.54 as given. Treat 2,612 as award records in the aggregate, not unique vendors.

Questions

How much DHS spending is coded to New Jersey?
USAspending.gov lists $7,723,787,445.54 in Department of Homeland Security obligations across 2,612 New Jersey-coded awards.
