Department of Housing and Urban Development federal obligations in Maine

HUD awards tagged to Maine

Department of Housing and Urban Development as awarding agency, Maine as place-of-performance: 3,406 records summing to $1,602,478,165.03. A Department of Housing and Urban Development award coded outside ME is out. An award in Maine from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Maine (ME) excludes New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Vermont. A Manchester-coded award is New Hampshire.

Three thousand four hundred six awards is a moderate HUD book: thicker than a thin Energy cell, thinner than a 90,000-row HUD flood. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 3,406 as 3,406 unique vouchers, unique public housing authorities, or home prices. The overlay Department of Housing and Urban Development in Maine is the both-keys table. Maine federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Housing and Urban Development is the agency book without an ME filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

CDBG, vouchers, and public-housing instruments can share 086. Portland versus rural PHA folklore is unpublished. Correlation is not causation: Maine did not cause $1,602,478,165.03 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 086 × ME only.

Not rents, vacancies, or unique PHAs

$1,602,478,165.03 does not measure vouchers, unique public housing authorities, or home prices. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 086 and an ME place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 3,406 awards as a census of vouchers, unique public housing authorities, or home prices. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Maine federal spending or Department of Housing and Urban Development matched $1,602,478,165.03 and 3,406, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Vermont HUD joins are other pairs, not addends.

Maine, not a New England housing rollup

Place of performance ME is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Maine (ME) excludes New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Vermont. A Manchester-coded award is New Hampshire. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

CDBG, vouchers, and public-housing instruments can share 086. Portland versus rural PHA folklore is unpublished. This packet does not split $1,602,478,165.03 by city, county, or named facility. 3,406 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.

Moderate HUD file, still obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $1,602,478,165.03 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Maine confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Maine’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 3,406-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 $1,602,478,165.03.

Citing HUD in Maine

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Housing and Urban Development (agency 086) obligated $1,602,478,165.03 on 3,406 awards coded to Maine. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as vouchers, unique public housing authorities, or home prices.

Prefer Department of Housing and Urban Development in Maine if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Maine federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to ME. Department of Housing and Urban Development is the 086 parent without the ME filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $1,602,478,165.03.

A usable footnote names Department of Housing and Urban Development, Maine, $1,602,478,165.03, and 3,406. The compact headline $1.60 billion is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $470,487 is $1,602,478,165.03 divided by 3,406. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
