Emergency Rental Assistance Program federal funding in Rhode Island
The Emergency Rental Assistance Program (CFDA 21.023) shows $200,247,266.18 in USAspending.gov obligations coded to Rhode Island, on 2 awards. Two rows can still carry a nine-figure rental-assistance book when the award file stores large Treasury-to-state vehicles. This page is a catalog-program × state join, not a census of renters and not an outlay conversion. USAspending.gov is the source table.
Key figures
- CFDA 21.023 × Rhode Island records $200,247,266.18 in USAspending obligations.
- Only 2 awards sit under that sum; the mean is about $100,123,633.09 per record, not a typical household payment.
- Matching Emergency Rental Assistance to Rhode Island is not causation.
- Cite obligations from USAspending.gov, not outlays.
Two awards on the Rhode Island ERA catalog line
CFDA 21.023 is Emergency Rental Assistance Program. Rhode Island (RI) is the place-of-performance state. Their intersection is $200,247,266.18 and 2 records. A 21.023 award tagged to Massachusetts or Connecticut is not here. A Rhode Island Medicaid or SNAP row is a different CFDA. This page does not add those programs to the ERA total.
2 awards against $200,247,266.18 yields a mean of about $100,123,633.09 per record. That mean is arithmetic on packet facts, not a typical household payment and not a typical monthly rent. Treasury ERA funding is often booked as a handful of large assistance actions. This packet does not name the recipients of the 2 rows.
Providence did not “win” $200,247,266.18 by appearing as a geography code. Treasury did not “choose Rhode Island” in a sense this extract can prove. Correlation of 21.023 with RI is not causation. The overlay Emergency Rental Assistance Program in Rhode Island is the live table.
Emergency Rental Assistance as a catalog title
The official title is EMERGENCY RENTAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. SpendingVault does not grade Rhode Island’s eviction filings, its ERA application backlog, or its landlord-participation rate. $200,247,266.18 is an obligation sum, not a housing-policy verdict. CFDA 21.023 is the national hub without the Rhode Island filter. This packet has no national ERA total, so none is quoted.
Treasury ERA monthly reports, eviction-filing dashboards, and ACS housing tables are other series. They are not the 2 USAspending.gov awards. Mixing a household count from those files with this join would invent a per-household dollar figure the packet does not support.
Rhode Island’s statewide book besides 21.023
Rhode Island federal spending covers every CFDA coded to the state. Rhode Island programs is the catalog directory. $200,247,266.18 is one cell. Quoting it as Rhode Island’s entire federal housing book would drop Section 8, HOME, and every other line that also hits the state.
Place-of-performance Rhode Island on an ERA vehicle is often a state agency or city address. It is not a map of which tenants received assistance. This packet has no city, no ZIP, and no household split of the $200,247,266.18.
Obligation versus rent already paid
An obligation is a recorded commitment. An outlay is a payment. $200,247,266.18 is the commitment figure. ERA disbursements to landlords and tenants are payment-side stories. This page does not convert the 2 awards into those cash flows or into months of rent covered.
Providence budget documents and Rhode Island Housing or RIHousing ERA reports answer other questions. They are not the source of this USAspending.gov cell. Keep the citation on CFDA aggregates by place of performance state.
How to cite the 21.023–Rhode Island join
Cite: Emergency Rental Assistance Program (CFDA 21.023) obligated $200,247,266.18 on 2 awards coded to Rhode Island, per USAspending.gov. Keep both keys. Keep “obligations.” Do not invent a fiscal year. All spending ties stores this pair with other program-by-state pages.
Later bulk files can move the dollars and the 2-award count. Prefer the overlay Emergency Rental Assistance Program in Rhode Island when the live table and this snapshot diverge.
What 2 rows will not be asked to prove
This page will not treat 2 awards as 2 cities, 2 housing authorities, or 2 ERA rounds as a legal finding. It will not compute a per-renter figure because the packet has no renter count. It will not rank Rhode Island against other states on emergency rental aid. Peer totals are not in these facts.
Other housing and health joins remain outside $200,247,266.18. Rhode Island federal spending, Rhode Island programs, CFDA 21.023, and All spending ties are the parent hubs. None of them recasts this join as a grade of Rhode Island housing or as an outlay.
The mean of about $100,123,633.09 per record will mislead anyone who treats it as a typical household award. There is no household count here. There is $200,247,266.18 and 2 awards. That is the entire numeric claim. Keep both the program name and Rhode Island in every citation sentence.
A second trap is collapsing ERA into every Treasury pandemic housing title. Other catalog numbers are different joins. Keep Emergency Rental Assistance on its own 2-award line.
