Head Start federal obligations in Arizona

Seventy grantee-scale records in one Head Start cell

This tie keeps USAspending assistance where CFDA 93.600 meets Arizona place of performance. The dollar book is $1,744,830,978.97. The award count is 70. Head Start commonly posts as prime grants to community action agencies, school districts, tribal organizations, and migrant programs. Seventy records do not equal 70 centers; continuations and modifications can share the tape.

The join does not prove that Arizona’s child-poverty rate, heat-related facility costs, or tribal land geography caused $1,744,830,978.97. Those are other series. This packet does not split Early Head Start, American Indian/Alaska Native Head Start, or Migrant and Seasonal Head Start. Correlation is not causation.

A reader who treats the cell as Arizona’s full HHS obligation book has left the CFDA-by-state definition. TANF is a different catalog number on the same stack. The 70 figure is a record count, not a child-enrollment total.

Seventy awards and a blended mean

Seventy awards under $1,744,830,978.97 imply a mean near $24,926,157 per award. Large Phoenix-area or statewide grantees can sit above that average; smaller rural or tribal grants can sit below it. The packet has no median and no share on the largest ten awards.

Cite both columns. USAspending.gov is the source; SpendingVault does not recast the mean as a typical classroom budget.

Arizona’s 93.600 cell versus the statewide stack

Arizona’s state hub stacks every CFDA with performance coded to the state. Head Start is one HHS line. $1,744,830,978.97 is not Arizona’s all-program total. The nationwide CFDA 93.600 page includes every state, so it is not this cell.

Place-of-performance for a multi-county or tribal grantee can sit on Arizona even when sites span several counties. This packet does not reallocate slots. Read the overlay as a coding view of 70 awards.

Obligations versus program-year cash

The $1,744,830,978.97 figure is an obligation sum. Grantee drawdowns across a program year can trail the obligation date. SpendingVault does not publish a 93.600-in-Arizona outlay total in this packet. Mixing enrollment or quality-rating statistics with this award file leaves the USAspending series.

Cite the join as CFDA 93.600 × Arizona, $1,744,830,978.97, 70 awards, obligations only.

Parent pages

The Arizona × Head Start overlay is the table view. Recipient slices on that hub still sum toward $1,744,830,978.97 on 70 awards. The Arizona spending page and the CFDA 93.600 program page are the parents. The Arizona programs index and the ties index list other pairs.

None of those links convert the cell into enrollment counts or into outlays this packet omits.

What Arizona Head Start is not

Head Start in Arizona is not a ranking of counties by preschool access and not a count of tribal or migrant classrooms. The $1,744,830,978.97 figure is the CFDA 93.600 × Arizona cell. Seventy awards describe grantee-scale filing, not 70 centers. Early Head Start, American Indian/Alaska Native Head Start, and Migrant and Seasonal Head Start that still carry 93.600 are not split here.

TANF in Arizona is a different HHS catalog number. Do not add 93.600 and 93.558 from memory. Cite Head Start and Arizona together, keep the obligation label, and keep the 70-award count. Program-year drawdowns can lag the obligation. Later bulk files can revise both dollars and the record count.

Arizona’s Head Start cell also does not include PIR enrollment, migrant-versus-tribal program flags, or licensed-capacity inventories. Those series live with HHS. SpendingVault cites USAspending.gov obligations only: CFDA 93.600 × Arizona, $1,744,830,978.97, 70 awards. If a later extract revises the 70-row tape, the implied mean near $24,926,157 moves with it. Quote the packet facts and the overlay path rather than a classroom story.

Keep both sides of the join in any citation: Head Start and Arizona, obligations only, 70 awards on $1,744,830,978.97.
