FEMA Individuals and Households disaster assistance in Louisiana

Thirty-two IHP records, one Louisiana disaster cell

This tie keeps USAspending assistance where CFDA 97.048 meets Louisiana place of performance. The dollar book is $1,381,045,379.64. The award count is 32. FEMA Individuals and Households Program assistance typically posts as a modest number of large disaster-declaration actions rather than one row per household. Thirty-two records do not equal 32 storms, and they do not equal 32 parishes.

The join does not prove that a particular hurricane, flood, or declaration caused $1,381,045,379.64. This packet has no disaster-number split and no housing-versus-other-needs split. Correlation is not causation.

A reader who treats the cell as Louisiana’s full DHS/FEMA obligation book has left the CFDA-by-state definition. Hazard Mitigation Grant (CFDA 97.039) is a different cell on the same statewide stack. The 32 figure is a record count, including modifications, not an applicant headcount.

Thirty-two awards and a blended mean

Thirty-two awards under $1,381,045,379.64 imply a mean near $43,157,668 per award. A few large declaration-level actions can dominate that average. The packet has no median and no share on the largest award.

Cite both columns. USAspending.gov is the source; SpendingVault does not recast the mean as a typical household IHP payment or as a typical rental-assistance check.

Louisiana’s 97.048 cell versus Title I and BEAD

Louisiana’s state hub stacks every CFDA with performance coded to the state. IHP is a FEMA assistance line. Title I and BEAD are different catalog numbers. $1,381,045,379.64 is not Louisiana’s all-program total. The nationwide CFDA 97.048 page includes every state, so it is not this cell.

Place-of-performance for IHP assistance sits on Louisiana even when applicants later move. This packet does not reallocate dollars to parishes. Read the overlay as a coding view of 32 awards.

Obligations versus household payments

The $1,381,045,379.64 figure is an obligation sum. Individual assistance payments can trail the federal obligation as inspections close. SpendingVault does not publish a 97.048-in-Louisiana outlay total in this packet. Mixing NOAA storm-damage or SBA loan statistics with this award file leaves the USAspending series.

Cite the join as CFDA 97.048 × Louisiana, $1,381,045,379.64, 32 awards, obligations only.

Parent hubs

The Louisiana × Federal Disaster Assistance to Individuals and Households overlay is the table view. Recipient slices on that hub still sum toward $1,381,045,379.64 on 32 awards. The Louisiana spending page and the CFDA 97.048 program page are the parents. The Louisiana programs index and the ties index list other pairs.

None of those links convert the cell into an applicant count or into outlays this packet omits.

What Louisiana IHP is not

FEMA Individuals and Households assistance in Louisiana is not a ranking of parishes by storm damage and not a count of applicants. The $1,381,045,379.64 figure is the CFDA 97.048 × Louisiana cell. Thirty-two awards describe declaration-level filing, not 32 storms and not 32 parishes. Housing assistance and other needs assistance that still carry 97.048 are not split in this packet.

Hazard Mitigation Grant (CFDA 97.039) and BEAD are different catalog numbers on Louisiana’s stack. Do not add IHP, HMGP, and BEAD from memory and call the sum “disaster plus broadband.” Cite 97.048 and Louisiana together, keep the obligation label, and keep the 32-award count. Inspection-based payments can lag the federal obligation.

Louisiana’s IHP cell also does not include applicant headcounts, housing-versus-other-needs splits, or parish damage maps. Those series live with FEMA. SpendingVault cites USAspending.gov obligations only: CFDA 97.048 × Louisiana, $1,381,045,379.64, 32 awards. If a later extract revises the 32-row tape, the implied mean near $43,157,668 moves with it. Quote the packet facts and the overlay path rather than a storm-ranking story.

Keep both sides of the join in any citation: FEMA Individuals and Households assistance and Louisiana, obligations only, 32 awards on $1,381,045,379.64.

Questions

How much FEMA Individuals and Households spending is in Louisiana?

USAspending.gov shows $1,381,045,379.64 in CFDA 97.048 obligations coded to Louisiana across 32 awards. The join uses the program number and Louisiana place of performance. The total is obligations, not outlays.

Does 32 awards mean 32 disasters or 32 parishes?

No. The extract counts 32 award records tagged to CFDA 97.048 and Louisiana. Declaration-level actions and modifications can share the tape. The implied mean is about $43,157,668 per award from the two packet facts. That mean is not a typical household payment.

Is $1.38 billion Louisiana’s full federal disaster spending?

No. $1,381,045,379.64 is only the Individuals and Households Program cell. Other CFDA programs with Louisiana place of performance sit on the statewide hub. Nationwide 97.048 is not limited to Louisiana.

Do these obligations equal cash paid to households?

No. $1,381,045,379.64 is an obligation sum. Outlays are a different USAspending series. Inspection-based payments can lag the federal obligation.
