Health Center Program obligations in Washington

What the 93.224–Washington join is

CFDA 93.224 is titled HEALTH CENTER PROGRAM (COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS, MIGRANT HEALTH CENTERS, HEALTH CARE FOR THE HOMELESS, AND PUBLIC HOUSING PRIMARY CARE). Crossed with Washington place of performance, obligations sum to $1,193,537,400.38 on 79 awards. The national Health Center Program hub includes other states. Washington’s spending hub includes other programs. Only this intersection is reported here. $1,193,537,400.38 is an obligation aggregate from USAspending.gov, not an outlay and not a count of exam rooms in Seattle or Yakima.

Seventy-nine awards is a many-grantee pattern: Section 330 health centers often post as separate assistance records to community, migrant, homeless, and public-housing primary-care organizations. The join does not name those centers, split King County from the Yakima Valley, or count patients. Packet facts stop at $1,193,537,400.38, 79 awards, WA, and 93.224.

93.224 is not IHS compact funding

Tribal Self-Governance IHS compacts (CFDA 93.210) are a different catalog. Mixing those dollars into $1,193,537,400.38 would invent a broader primary-care total than this cell contains. Facts available: Washington, CFDA 93.224, $1,193,537,400.38, 79 awards. Encounter counts, sliding-fee schedules, and site addresses are not in the facts.

The catalog title names community, migrant, homeless, and public-housing primary care, not a ranking of uninsured rates. Dividing $1,193,537,400.38 by 79 yields about $15.11 million per award—a local-grantee scale. Unique recipients are unpublished. 79 is not a count of clinics.

Washington geography on the health-center tag

WA is the place-of-performance code. Awards billed to Seattle, Spokane, Yakima, or other in-state sites can share the tag. Awards coded to Oregon, Idaho, or Alaska stay outside $1,193,537,400.38 even when a migrant stream crosses those borders. The code does not convert $1.19 billion into a site map.

Washington federal spending is the all-program parent. 93.224 is one row on Washington programs. $1.19 billion is not the state’s complete federal footprint. Open Health Center Program (Community Health Centers, Migrant Health Centers, Health Care For The Homeless, And Public Housing Primary Care) in Washington for the filtered table, CFDA 93.224 for 93.224 without a Washington filter, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those parents into $1,193,537,400.38.

Reading 79 awards under $1.19 billion

$1,193,537,400.38 ÷ 79 is about $15.11 million per award. That average is a health-center grant scale, not a typical visit cost. It is not a median. Net obligations can include downward modifications; the total shown is the aggregate in the facts. Treat 79 as a record count, not as 79 finished clinics.

USAspending obligations can be positive new awards or net of downward modifications; $1,193,537,400.38 is the net total supplied in the facts. Without a transaction register, you cannot see how many of the 79 rows are continuations, renewals, or corrections. Later ingests can restate $1,193,537,400.38 without changing the join key of 93.224 and WA.

What the Health Center–Washington pair does not prove

A large 93.224 total tagged to Washington does not measure whether access improved, and it does not equal visits delivered. FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell. Correlation is not causation. The headline remains $1,193,537,400.38 on 79 awards for the Health Center Program in Washington.

Keep both sides of the join: Health Center Program and Washington, obligations only. Do not annualize $1,193,537,400.38 without a year field—this packet publishes none. Do not treat 79 as a clinic census. Quote USAspending.gov and the overlay path rather than an access story.

Using the Health Center–Washington overlay

The overlay target is the Washington × CFDA 93.224 table. Open Health Center Program (Community Health Centers, Migrant Health Centers, Health Care For The Homeless, And Public Housing Primary Care) in Washington when you want the same $1,193,537,400.38 / 79-award cell in the site’s data chrome. CFDA 93.224 drops the Washington filter. Washington federal spending drops the CFDA filter. Washington programs lists other catalogs beside 93.224. All spending ties indexes other pairs.

This page exists because two tables meet: a CFDA program and a place-of-performance state. It does not exist to argue that Washington won or lost federal money, that donations paid for the awards, or that obligations equal cash. The pair is 93.224 plus WA. Obligations of $1,193,537,400.38 are not outlays.
