Disaster Grants - Public Assistance (Presidentially Declared Disasters) federal funding in California
Disaster Grants - Public Assistance (Presidentially Declared Disasters) (CFDA 97.036) shows $21,189,486,602.30 in USAspending.gov obligations coded to California, on 30 awards. This page joins that FEMA catalog program to California place-of-performance. It is not a wildfire diary, not a count of presidential declarations, and not an outlay conversion. USAspending.gov is the source. Later ingests can move both the dollars and the 30-award count; this prose is a snapshot of one packet.
Key figures
- CFDA 97.036 × California records $21,189,486,602.30 in USAspending obligations.
- 30 awards underlie that sum; the mean is about $706 million per record, not a typical project.
- The join is not a wildfire diary and not proof California caused the spending.
- Cite obligations from USAspending.gov, not outlays.
Thirty public-assistance awards tagged to California
CFDA 97.036 is Disaster Grants - Public Assistance (Presidentially Declared Disasters). California (CA) is the geography tag. Together they produce $21,189,486,602.30 and 30 records. A 97.036 award tagged to Oregon or Nevada is excluded. A California SNAP, school-lunch, SSDI, VA, or survivors-insurance row is a different CFDA. This page does not add those programs to the disaster cell.
Thirty awards against $21,189,486,602.30 yields a mean of about $706,316,220 per record. That mean is not a typical debris-removal invoice. Large public-assistance vehicles to a state or a city can dominate dollars on a short row list. This packet does not name disasters, applicants, or categories of work.
Sacramento did not cause $21,189,486,602.30 by appearing as a state code. Correlation is not causation. Disaster Grants - Public Assistance (Presidentially Declared Disasters) in California is the live overlay.
What CFDA 97.036 is without becoming a fire-and-flood narrative
SpendingVault does not rank California’s disasters or its recovery speed. $21,189,486,602.30 is an obligation sum, not a damage estimate. CFDA 97.036 is the national hub without the California filter. This packet has no national public-assistance total, so none is compared to California.
FEMA declaration lists and after-action reports are other products. They are not the 30 USAspending.gov awards. Importing a fire name or a flood year would invent a statistic this packet does not contain.
California’s federal book besides public assistance
California federal spending is the all-program rollup. California programs lists sibling catalog cells. $21,189,486,602.30 is one line, not a synonym for the state book.
Place-of-performance California on a public-assistance vehicle can be a state emergency office or a city applicant. It is not automatically the county that took the damage. This packet has no county or incident split of the $21,189,486,602.30.
Obligations versus reimbursement cash
An obligation is a recorded commitment. An outlay is a payment. $21,189,486,602.30 is stored as obligations. Public-assistance reimbursement timing can lag declarations by years. This page does not age the 30 awards into cash.
State budget documents and Cal OES publications are different ledgers. Keep the citation on USAspending.gov.
Citing the 97.036–California snapshot
Write: Disaster Grants - Public Assistance (Presidentially Declared Disasters) (CFDA 97.036) obligated $21,189,486,602.30 on 30 awards coded to California, per USAspending.gov. Name both sides. Do not invent a fiscal year. All spending ties files this pair with other joins.
If a later ingest revises dollars or the 30-award count, the overlay Disaster Grants - Public Assistance (Presidentially Declared Disasters) in California overrides this prose.
What 30 rows will not be asked to prove
This page will not treat 30 awards as 30 storms, 30 fires, or 30 counties. It will not compute a per-declaration figure because the packet has no declaration count. It will not rank California against New York or Texas on 97.036. Peer totals are other packets.
SNAP, school lunch, SSDI, VA compensation, and survivors insurance remain outside $21,189,486,602.30. California federal spending, California programs, CFDA 97.036, and All spending ties are the parent hubs. None of them converts the cell into a grade of California’s disaster recovery or into Treasury outlays.
The mean of about $706 million per record is a quotient, not a typical project worksheet. Keep both the program name and California in every citation sentence. Treat this JSON as a packet snapshot. Later bulk files can move both the dollars and the 30-award count.
Do not attach a named wildfire, earthquake, or atmospheric-river flood to $21,189,486,602.30. This packet has no incident list. Place-of-performance is a coding field, not a damage map. If a later ingest disagrees, the overlay wins. Keep USAspending.gov as the cited source.
Public Assistance is paid to governments and certain nonprofits, not to households as Individual Assistance. This packet still does not split those applicant types. Thirty awards carrying $21,189,486,602.30 is consistent with large state or city vehicles. It is not, by itself, a list of 30 local governments.
Coastal metros, the Sierra, and inland valleys are not separated here. The $21,189,486,602.30 is a single California-tagged cell. County and city maps need another extract. This packet does not include them, so they are not inferred.
