Department of Housing and Urban Development federal obligations in Alaska

HUD awards tagged to Alaska

Department of Housing and Urban Development as awarding agency, Alaska as place-of-performance: 1,420 records summing to $2,201,543,003.10. A Department of Housing and Urban Development award coded outside AK is out. An award in Alaska from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Alaska (AK) is the place-of-performance key. Awards coded to Washington or other Lower 48 tags are other cells even when a Seattle office later supports an Alaska project. PIH, CPD, FHA, and other HUD components are unpublished splits inside awarding agency 086.

One thousand four hundred twenty awards is a mid-count HUD file: thicker than a thin Treasury cell, far thinner than a high-volume South Carolina HUD action file. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 1,420 as 1,420 unique Housing Choice Vouchers, public-housing units, or unique tenants. The overlay Department of Housing and Urban Development in Alaska is the both-keys table. Alaska federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Housing and Urban Development is the agency book without an AK filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Anchorage, Fairbanks, Juneau, and rural census areas share one AK stamp. $2,201,543,003.10 stays statewide. Correlation is not causation: Alaska did not “cause” $2,201,543,003.10 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 086 × AK only.

Agency 086 is not a unit or voucher census

$2,201,543,003.10 does not measure Housing Choice Vouchers, public-housing units, or unique tenants. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 086 and an AK place-of-performance tag. PIH, CPD, FHA, and other HUD components are unpublished splits inside awarding agency 086.

Do not treat 1,420 awards as a census of Housing Choice Vouchers, public-housing units, or unique tenants. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Alaska federal spending or Department of Housing and Urban Development matched $2,201,543,003.10 and 1,420, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Washington and other Pacific HUD joins are other pairs, not addends.

Alaska statewide, not Anchorage versus the bush

Place of performance AK is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Alaska (AK) is the place-of-performance key. Awards coded to Washington or other Lower 48 tags are other cells even when a Seattle office later supports an Alaska project. Recipient address can differ from that state tag. Anchorage, Fairbanks, Juneau, and the rest of the boroughs share one AK stamp.

Anchorage, Fairbanks, Juneau, and rural census areas share one AK stamp. $2,201,543,003.10 stays statewide. This packet does not split $2,201,543,003.10 by city, county, or named facility. 1,420 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.

Commitments, not rent already paid

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $2,201,543,003.10 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Alaska confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Alaska’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 1,420-award USAspending file leaves this series. No fiscal year is published in this packet, so this page does not invent one. Keep the obligation label on $2,201,543,003.10.

Citing the HUD–Alaska join

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Housing and Urban Development (agency 086) obligated $2,201,543,003.10 on 1,420 awards coded to Alaska. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as Housing Choice Vouchers, public-housing units, or unique tenants.

Prefer Department of Housing and Urban Development in Alaska if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Alaska federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to AK. Department of Housing and Urban Development is the 086 parent without the AK filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $2,201,543,003.10. A usable footnote names Department of Housing and Urban Development, Alaska, $2,201,543,003.10, and 1,420. The compact headline $2.20 billion is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $1.55 million is $2,201,543,003.10 divided by 1,420. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
