Department of Housing and Urban Development federal obligations in Arizona (agency 086)

What the HUD–Arizona join is

Awarding agency 086 and place-of-performance state AZ meet here. $4,720,941,639 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Department of Housing and Urban Development’s nationwide budget, not Arizona’s entire federal inflow, and not cash already paid. Phoenix and Tucson housing-authority folklore may send a reader here. Those stories are not packet NAICS and not a unit-by-unit housing census.

17,560 award actions sit behind that dollar figure — tens of thousands of award actions behind a multi-billion obligation total. A long row list can still mix large and small instruments. The join does not rank Arizona against other states and does not name public-housing agencies inside the extract.

Open Department of Housing and Urban Development in Arizona for the filtered table, Arizona federal spending for the next hub, Department of Housing and Urban Development for the remaining hub, and All spending ties for other pairs.

A long HUD award list under one Arizona filter

Dividing $4,720,941,639 by 17,560 yields about $268,846 per award on average. That average hides contracts, grants, and other instruments. It is not a typical housing-authority grant. Repeat awards and modifications still add rows; the listed count is not a unique-recipient census and not a count of housing units. Authority names belong on the overlay if they appear as recipients; they are not extra packet dollars.

Phoenix and tucson housing-authority folklore is a coding conversation, not a packet field. Agency names and recipient rows live on the overlay table, not in this narrative’s extra columns.

Agency 086 without an Arizona overlay is a different total

The agency-wide Department of Housing and Urban Development page aggregates 086 without requiring AZ geography. The Arizona federal spending page aggregates all agencies with Arizona place of performance. Only Department of Housing and Urban Development in Arizona applies both filters, which is why this tie cites 17,560 awards and $4,720,941,639.

Place of performance in Arizona is a USAspending geography field. Awards can list AZ while later work occurs in California or New Mexico. HUD awards coded to those states do not sit in this total even if the property manager’s office sits in Phoenix. This packet does not split Phoenix from Tucson or Flagstaff.

Obligations, not outlays

An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $4,720,941,639 is the former. This packet has no outlay total, no fiscal-year split, and no de-obligation history. Citing the figure as money already spent in Arizona over-reads the field.

Award count 17,560 is a record count, not a payment count. Readers who need transaction-level detail should use the Arizona–HUD overlay. All spending ties does not hide a blended statewide total under this slug.

What this pair does not prove

A large HUD total in Arizona does not mean the agency caused Arizona’s housing mix, and it does not connect these obligations to campaign contributions. Correlation between population and housing awards is expected; it is not a finding about affordability or waste.

Keep $4,720,941,639 labeled as agency 086 obligations with Arizona place of performance. FEC individual contributions are a different dataset. An agency name that appears near a donor occupation is a coincidence of labeling, not a cash pipeline into USAspending.

How to cite the Arizona–HUD pair

A clean footnote names awarding agency 086 (Department of Housing and Urban Development), Arizona place of performance, $4,720,941,639 in obligations, and 17,560 awards on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Do not call $4,720,941,639 cash outlays. Mean dollars per action remain about $268,846 if you divide those two facts — a ratio, not a typical housing-authority grant.

Department of Housing and Urban Development in Arizona, Arizona federal spending, Department of Housing and Urban Development, and All spending ties keep the same unit. A later ingest can restate $4,720,941,639 without changing the join definition. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Phoenix-versus-Tucson folklore is not a metro split in this packet. A long award list is still a record count, including modifications. Unique recipients are not published here. Keep the obligation label in every reuse. Correlation is not causation.
