Hazard Mitigation Grant federal obligations in Louisiana

Eighteen HMGP records, one mitigation cell

This tie keeps USAspending assistance where CFDA 97.039 meets Louisiana place of performance. The dollar book is $1,263,789,376.79. The award count is 18. Hazard Mitigation Grant Program funds typically post after presidential declarations as awards to the state, which then subgrants to parishes and other applicants. Eighteen prime records do not equal 18 elevation projects, and they do not equal 18 parishes.

The join does not prove that a particular hurricane, repetitive-loss inventory, or levee-system map caused $1,263,789,376.79. Those are other series. This packet does not split acquisitions from elevations or from other eligible activities. Correlation is not causation.

A reader who treats the cell as Louisiana’s full FEMA obligation book has left the CFDA-by-state definition. Individuals and Households Program (CFDA 97.048) is a different cell on the same statewide stack. The 18 figure is a record count, including modifications, not a project count.

Eighteen awards and a blended mean

Eighteen awards under $1,263,789,376.79 imply a mean near $70,210,521 per award. A few large post-declaration HMGP 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 house-elevation cost or as a typical parish subgrant.

Louisiana’s 97.039 cell versus IHP and BEAD

Louisiana’s state hub stacks every CFDA with performance coded to the state. Hazard Mitigation Grant is a FEMA mitigation line. IHP is individual assistance; BEAD is broadband. $1,263,789,376.79 is not Louisiana’s all-program total. The nationwide CFDA 97.039 page includes every state, so it is not this cell.

Place-of-performance on a state HMGP award usually sits on Louisiana even when subgrants scatter to parishes. This packet does not reallocate dollars. Read the overlay as a coding view of 18 awards.

Obligations versus completed mitigation

The $1,263,789,376.79 figure is an obligation sum. Elevation, acquisition, and drainage projects can take years to draw down. SpendingVault does not publish a 97.039-in-Louisiana outlay total in this packet. Mixing NFIP repetitive-loss or NOAA storm-damage statistics with this award file leaves the USAspending series.

Cite the join as CFDA 97.039 × Louisiana, $1,263,789,376.79, 18 awards, obligations only.

Parent hubs

The Louisiana × Hazard Mitigation Grant overlay is the table view. Recipient slices on that hub still sum toward $1,263,789,376.79 on 18 awards. The Louisiana spending page and the CFDA 97.039 program page are the parents. The Louisiana programs index and the ties index list other pairs.

None of those links convert the cell into a project count or into outlays this packet omits.

What Louisiana hazard mitigation is not

Hazard Mitigation Grant in Louisiana is not a ranking of parishes by flood risk and not a count of elevated houses. The $1,263,789,376.79 figure is the CFDA 97.039 × Louisiana cell. Eighteen awards describe state-level HMGP filing after declarations, not 18 elevation projects. Acquisitions, elevations, and drainage activities that still carry 97.039 are not split in this packet.

IHP (CFDA 97.048) pays individuals; HMGP funds mitigation projects. They are different FEMA catalog numbers. Cite 97.039 and Louisiana together, keep the obligation label, and keep the 18-award count. Construction and acquisition draws can lag the federal obligation by years. Later bulk files can revise both dollars and the record count.

Louisiana’s Hazard Mitigation Grant cell also does not include elevation-versus-acquisition counts, NFIP repetitive-loss lists, or parish project maps. Those series live with FEMA and the state. SpendingVault cites USAspending.gov obligations only: CFDA 97.039 × Louisiana, $1,263,789,376.79, 18 awards. If a later extract revises the 18-row tape, the implied mean near $70,210,521 moves with it. Quote the packet facts and the overlay path rather than a flood-risk ranking.

Keep both sides of the join in any citation: Hazard Mitigation Grant and Louisiana, obligations only, 18 awards on $1,263,789,376.79.

Questions

How much Hazard Mitigation Grant spending is in Louisiana?

USAspending.gov shows $1,263,789,376.79 in CFDA 97.039 obligations coded to Louisiana across 18 awards. The join uses the program number and Louisiana place of performance. The total is obligations, not outlays.

Does 18 awards mean 18 elevation projects?

No. The extract counts 18 award records tagged to CFDA 97.039 and Louisiana. State-level HMGP actions and modifications can share the tape. The implied mean is about $70,210,521 per award from the two packet facts. That mean is not a typical house-elevation cost.

Is $1.26 billion Louisiana’s full federal disaster spending?

No. $1,263,789,376.79 is only the Hazard Mitigation Grant cell. Other CFDA programs with Louisiana place of performance sit on the statewide hub. Nationwide 97.039 is not limited to Louisiana.

Do these obligations equal completed mitigation projects?

No. $1,263,789,376.79 is an obligation sum. Outlays are a different USAspending series. Construction and acquisition draws can lag the federal obligation by years.
