Disaster Grants Public Assistance funding in Massachusetts

Massachusetts × 97.036 is a PA join, not a nor'easter ranking

This page pairs CFDA 97.036, DISASTER GRANTS - PUBLIC ASSISTANCE (PRESIDENTIALLY DECLARED DISASTERS), with Massachusetts place of performance. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $3,586,810,380.88 on 8 awards. The join is FEMA's Public Assistance listing for presidentially declared disasters, crossed with a Massachusetts location field, not a ranking of which winter storm was worse and not the state's entire FEMA book. Treat the pair as a catalog intersection, not a ranking, and not a claim that 8 awards equal that many declared disasters, applicant towns, or snow-removal invoices.

Hazard mitigation and other FEMA codes remain outside $3,586,810,380.88 unless they also carry 97.036. Correlation between this obligation sum and local need statistics is not causation. Those statistics are not in the packet. Massachusetts (MA) excludes Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Hampshire, New York, and Vermont. A Rhode Island PA award is another cell. Place of performance as Massachusetts locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $3,586,810,380.88 in the state treasury.

Eight FEMA rows, matching New Jersey's award count

Mean obligation is about $448.35 million if $3,586,810,380.88 were divided evenly across 8 lines. That ratio is a quotient of two packet facts, not a published typical award. Eight records matches New Jersey's PA award count on a smaller dollar book. Still a thin, high-mean assistance file. Award count is a row count, including possible continuations. It is not a census of declared disasters, applicant towns, or snow-removal invoices.

Eight awards are scannable on the overlay. This page will not invent recipient names. Open Disaster Grants - Public Assistance (Presidentially Declared Disasters) in Massachusetts for the stored table. Boston, the Cape, and western counties are unpublished. Eight awards are not eight declarations. The $3,586,810,380.88 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards.

Massachusetts PA obligations are not repairs already done

An obligation is a recorded commitment. An outlay is a payment. The $3,586,810,380.88 headline is the obligation sum, not public-assistance work already finished. No fiscal year is attached in this packet, so this page does not invent one. Citing the figure as cash already sent in Massachusetts confuses two USAspending concepts.

Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. Massachusetts's own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 8-award USAspending file leaves this series. Keep the obligation label on $3,586,810,380.88. Campaign contributions recorded on FEC.gov do not fund this USAspending cell.

What the Massachusetts 97.036 table omits

The extract has no roster of declared disasters, applicant towns, or snow-removal invoices. Facts remain $3,586,810,380.88, 8 awards, CFDA 97.036, and Massachusetts. This page will not invent a county league table. Sibling 97.036 joins in other states are separate obligation totals, not a better or worse score. Massachusetts (MA) excludes Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Hampshire, New York, and Vermont. A Rhode Island PA award is another cell.

Massachusetts federal spending and Massachusetts programs place 97.036 among other listings. CFDA 97.036 is the national catalog line. All spending ties indexes other CFDA × state pairs. Mixing those shelves would invent a share of Massachusetts spending the packet never computed. The $3,586,810,380.88 figure is the tagged pair only.
