WA-04 × 93.600 is a Head Start join, not a child census
Head Start meets Washington 4th District (WA-04) on this page. $405,726,216.74 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both the CFDA 93.600 tag and congressional-district place of performance WA-04. It is not Washington’s statewide Head Start book, not the nationwide program total, and not an enrollment file or a named-center roster. Washington 4th District is the district parent without this program filter. CFDA 93.600 is the program parent without the WA-04 filter. Correlation is not causation.
15 is an award-action count. Modifications can add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished, and this page will not invent contractors or award recipients. Dividing $405,726,216.74 by 15 yields about $27,048,414.45 per award, a ratio of two packet facts, not a typical per-child allocation or a typical center award. FEC contribution tables do not fund these USAspending obligations. Head Start is an HHS catalog line. This page will not invent named grantees, centers, or an enrollment count.
Head Start as a catalog title, not an Early Head Start split
The official catalog title is HEAD START. SpendingVault does not grade Washington 4th District (WA-04) on Head Start, backlog, or policy. $405,726,216.74 is an obligation sum, not a verdict. CFDA 93.600 without the district filter is the national hub; this packet has no national total, so none is quoted. Child-care or other HHS early-childhood listings remain outside $405,726,216.74.
OHS Program Information Reports and Head Start enrollment files are other series. They are not the 15 awards on USAspending.gov. Mixing a census from those files with this join would invent a per-unit dollar figure the packet does not support. Grantee-center and enrollment-slot folklore is ordinary speech, not a packet field. The packet does not split Head Start from Early Head Start. The MI-01 Head Start cell in this slice is a different district stamp.
Washington 4th District besides CFDA 93.600
Washington 4th District (WA-04) is the geography side. Place of performance WA-04 is a coding field in the award file. It does not prove residency of beneficiaries, students, patients, or vendors. Washington federal spending is the statewide parent and includes other districts. Yakima–Tri-Cities speech is not a county office map. Neighboring WA-05 Head Start cells stay outside. A Head Start award tagged to WA-05 or OR-02 is not here.
The district’s all-program obligation total is $70,671,093,793. $405,726,216.74 is the Head Start slice of that book, about 0.6%. Remaining district dollars sit with other CFDAs on Washington 4th District, not inside this join. Quoting $405,726,216.74 as Washington 4th District (WA-04)’s entire federal book would drop every other catalog line.
Fifteen awards, not 15 grantees
15 awards against $405,726,216.74 implies about $27,048,414.45 per award. That mean is not a unit price and not a typical per-child allocation or a typical center award. Head Start assistance awards and continuations can dominate dollars while the row count stays at 15. 15 rows can include continuations and amendments. Treat the count as records in an aggregate, not as 15 finished projects or 15 people. All spending ties lists other district-by-program pairs on the same obligation metric.
Head Start obligations versus draws already posted
An obligation is a recorded commitment. An outlay is a payment from the Treasury. $405,726,216.74 is the commitment figure. This packet has no outlay total and no fiscal-year split, so none is invented. Citing the figure as cash already spent in Washington 4th District (WA-04) over-reads the field. Do not rank Washington 4th District (WA-04) as a winner or loser versus other districts. Keep both sides in the citation: Head Start (CFDA 93.600) and Washington 4th District (WA-04).
Budget documents from the Yakima–Tri-Cities communities in the district and Washington appropriations answer other questions. They are not the source of this cell. If a chart mixes General Fund activity with CFDA 93.600 in WA-04, the chart has left the federal award series. The central Washington agricultural belt as speech only did not receive $405,726,216.74 as a named metro in this packet.
How to cite the 93.600 × WA-04 pair
Cite: Head Start (CFDA 93.600) obligated $405,726,216.74 on 15 awards coded to Washington 4th District (WA-04), per USAspending.gov. Keep both keys. Keep the word obligations. Open Washington 4th District for the district rollup, CFDA 93.600 for the program rollup, Washington federal spending for Washington statewide spending, and All spending ties for other pairs. Later bulk files can move the dollars and the 15-award count; prefer those tables when the live overlay and this snapshot diverge. None of those links convert this cell into an enrollment file or a named-center roster, into outlays this packet omits, or into a contractor list.
