Emergency Rental Assistance Program federal funding in Maine

Maine x 21.023 is an ERA join, not a renter census

This page pairs CFDA 21.023, EMERGENCY RENTAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM, with Maine place of performance. Emergency Rental Assistance, in program language, helped eligible households with rent and related housing costs during the pandemic-era assistance window. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $309,002,913.53 on three awards. The extract does not list households served, average rent paid, or eviction counts. Treat the pair as a catalog intersection, not a ranking of which state needs the program more, and not a claim that three awards equal that many local offices.

Other Treasury or HUD housing listings — Public Housing Operating Fund, rural rental assistance, or different ERA CFDA numbers if they exist — sit outside $309,002,913.53 unless they also carry 21.023. Mixing ERA with LIHEAP, WIC, or rural rental assistance would invent a combined household-aid figure the packet never computed. Correlation between this obligation sum and local need statistics is not causation. Those statistics are not in the packet. Place of performance as Maine locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $309,002,913.53 in the state treasury, and it does not prove every dollar stayed inside Maine after subawards.

Three awards behind $309,002,913.53

Mean obligation is about $103.00 million if $309,002,913.53 were divided evenly across three lines. That ratio is not a published grant size. Formula-style or project awards often post as a handful of large rows to a lead agency or a small set of recipients. Award count is a row count, including possible continuations. It is not a census of renter households or a count of landlords paid.

Three awards are scannable on the overlay. This page will not invent recipient names. Open Emergency Rental Assistance Program in Maine for the stored table. Do not convert three awards into a map of Maine providers. The $309,002,913.53 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards. Inspect named lines rather than inferring an inventory.

ERA obligations are not rent already paid

Assistance awards often obligate to a state or recipient and draw as activities proceed. The $309,002,913.53 headline is the obligation sum, not a punch-list of rent checks already cashed and not a Treasury outlay total. No fiscal year is attached. An agency allocation table dated to a particular year is not automatically this join unless it uses CFDA 21.023, Maine geography, and the obligation metric.

The listing title is Emergency Rental Assistance Program. This extract does not split rent from utilities, and it does not split ERA1 from ERA2 if those labels exist in other systems. Those cuts would require award documentation beyond the packet facts. This page will not invent an activity-type share. ERA awards often posted as a handful of large rows to a state or local lead agency. Do not convert the award count into a map of counties or public-housing authorities.

What the Maine ERA table omits

The extract has no households served, average rent paid, or eviction counts. Facts remain $309,002,913.53, three awards, CFDA 21.023, and Maine. This page will not invent a ranking against other states' 21.023 joins. Place-of-performance as a state code locates tagged awards; it does not by itself explain recipient type.

Maine federal spending and Maine programs place 21.023 among other listings. CFDA 21.023 is the national catalog line. All spending ties indexes other CFDA x state pairs. Mixing those shelves would invent a share of Treasury spending the packet never computed. The $309,002,913.53 figure is the tagged pair only.

Where the 21.023 x Maine overlay lives

Start with Emergency Rental Assistance Program in Maine for the table behind $309,002,913.53. CFDA 21.023 is the nationwide listing. Maine federal spending and Maine programs give state context. All spending ties is the shelf for other program-by-state joins on the same obligation metric. Three awards totaling $309,002,913.53 remain formula-style assistance rows, not a landlord or tenant census. Households served, average rent paid, or eviction counts are not in this packet. Outlays, remaining balances, and fiscal-year splits are omitted because they are not in the facts. Use the overlay for named award lines as USAspending stored them.

Questions

How much Emergency Rental Assistance is obligated in Maine?

USAspending.gov shows $309,002,913.53 in obligations for CFDA 21.023 with Maine as place of performance, across three awards. The sum is a commitment total on assistance awards, not outlays and not the state's entire federal-spending total. Other Treasury listings are outside this join unless they also carry 21.023.

Do 3 awards mean 3 Maine housing agencies received grants?

No. Award count is a row count of assistance awards and can include continuations. It is not a census of renter households or a count of landlords paid. The packet does not name recipients. See the Maine 21.023 overlay for named lines as USAspending stored them.

Is this Maine's entire housing assistance budget?

No. The join is CFDA 21.023 crossed with Maine place of performance. Related programs on other CFDA numbers are not inside $309,002,913.53 unless the award also carries 21.023. Mixing ERA with LIHEAP, WIC, or rural rental assistance would invent a combined household-aid figure the packet never computed.

Is the ERA total already paid to Maine landlords?

Not on this metric. Obligations are recorded commitments on assistance awards. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $309,002,913.53 headline is the obligation rollup in SpendingVault's extract. Completed activity and remaining balances are not published in this packet.
