Foster Care Title IV-E (CFDA 93.658) federal funding in Oregon
USAspending.gov records $926,415,649 in Foster Care Title IV-E obligations under CFDA 93.658 with place of performance in Oregon, on 8 awards. Dividing $926,415,649 by 8 awards yields about $115.8 million per award. That low-row, high-mean shape is typical of a state-plan entitlement recorded as a few large assistance instruments rather than thousands of child-level invoices. The page joins catalog 93.658 to state OR. It is not a caseload dashboard, and it does not rank Oregon’s child-welfare system.

Eight Title IV-E awards tagged to Oregon
CFDA 93.658 is titled Foster Care Title IV-E. Oregon is the place-of-performance state. $926,415,649 is the obligation sum on records that carry both keys. Eight awards against that total produces a nine-figure mean. The packet does not name the state agency, tribes, or claiming periods. The join is a two-key filter, not a count of children in care.
The Oregon hub totals every program. The national 93.658 hub totals every state. This tie is the overlap. Health Center Program (93.224) also appears as an Oregon HHS join in this harvest, on 84 awards. Same cabinet series, different catalogs, different table shapes. Mixing them would misstate $926,415,649.
Eight awards against $926,415,649 is an entitlement-claiming shape. Oregon’s health-center join uses 84 awards against a smaller dollar total. Readers who open both overlays will see opposite concentrations under the same 93-series prefix. Prefix is not identity. Title IV-E is 93.658. Health centers are 93.224. The about-$115.8 million mean on this join is not a per-child federal share. Eight records are not eight placements.
What Title IV-E is on this CFDA
Foster Care Title IV-E is a specific ACF assistance line for foster-care maintenance and related federal matching, as the catalog title states. It is not Child Care and Development Fund matching (93.596), not adoption assistance under a different CFDA, and not a general human-services lump. Packet facts are the obligation total, 8 awards, state OR, and CFDA 93.658.
Entitlement claiming often lands on a small number of large awards even when the underlying activity is statewide. USAspending still reports 8 award records. That instrument count is not the number of foster placements.
Oregon as the geography key
Oregon is USAspending state code OR. Awards coded to Washington, Idaho, or California stay on other ties. $926,415,649 is not Oregon’s entire human-services budget and is not every federal dollar that touches child welfare in the state. The packet has no county caseload table.
Statewide Oregon federal spending is the parent. CFDA 93.658 is one line. Readers comparing foster-care claiming with primary-care health centers in Oregon should keep 93.658 and 93.224 distinct.
Why the average is about $115.8 million
Average obligation is about $115.8 million ($926,415,649 ÷ 8). With eight rows, one large quarterly or annual claim moves the mean sharply. The packet does not publish a median. Do not read the mean as the federal share of one child’s year in care.
Net obligations can include prior-period adjustments common in IV-E claiming. This page reports $926,415,649 as given. Obligations are not outlays.
What the Oregon–93.658 pair is not
A shared state tag does not mean Oregon selected these awards as competitive grants, and it does not mean IV-E outlays equal $926,415,649. FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell. Correlation is not causation.

IV-E overlay is a claiming file, not a caseload file
Foster Care Title Iv-E in Oregon is the overlay for CFDA 93.658 inside state OR. Eight awards summing to $926,415,649 will look like a tiny table. Entitlement claiming often uses a small number of large instruments. Eight rows is not eight children. The packet does not publish caseload, claiming periods, or tribal versus state shares. Oregon’s Health Center Program join in this harvest uses 84 awards against a smaller dollar total. Same state, different HHS catalogs, opposite concentrations.
Oregon programs is the CFDA index. The national 93.658 hub drops the Oregon filter. Child Care mandatory and matching funds (93.596) is a different ACF entitlement used on the Tennessee join in this slice. Do not fold CCDF into $926,415,649. This page does not rank Oregon’s child-welfare system. Obligations are not outlays. A recorded IV-E commitment is not a completed quarterly settlement.
