The page joins catalog 14.850 to state AL. It is not a vacancy ranking, and it is not Alabama’s complete federal total.

Operating-fund assistance tagged to Alabama
CFDA 14.850 is titled Public Housing Operating Fund. Alabama is the place-of-performance state. $744,455,823 sums obligations on records that carry both keys. One thousand four hundred fifty-seven awards is a substantial instrument count for a HUD operations line. The packet does not name housing authorities, developments, or unit counts. The join is a two-key filter, not a scorecard of public-housing quality.
The Alabama hub totals every program. The national 14.850 hub totals every state. This tie is the overlap. Capital-fund, voucher, or other HUD catalog numbers—if they appear on other pages—are not inside $744,455,823. Mixing those lines would misstate operating subsidy.
One thousand four hundred fifty-seven awards against $744,455,823 is a mid-volume HUD operations file. It is not a voucher file and not a capital-fund file. The about-$510,951 mean sits near Colorado’s Post-9/11 education mean in this harvest by coincidence of unrelated catalogs. Coincidence is not a housing-versus-education comparison. Alabama programs remains the place to find other CFDA lines. This overlay is 14.850 only, with $744,455,823 on 1,457 award records.
What the operating-fund catalog holds
Public Housing Operating Fund, as titled, is assistance for operating public housing, not Housing Choice Vouchers, not HOME, and not Community Development Block Grants. Packet facts are the obligation total, 1,457 awards, state AL, and CFDA 14.850. No occupancy or rent-roll table is included.
Place of performance tagged Alabama can cover a large city authority, a small rural authority, or a statewide stamp. Awards coded to Mississippi, Georgia, or Tennessee stay on other 14.850 ties. The geography key is not a Birmingham-versus-Mobile table.
Alabama as the geography key
Alabama is USAspending state code AL. $744,455,823 is not Alabama’s entire HUD footprint and is not the state’s Medicaid or TANF total. The packet has no poverty-rate figure, and this page does not invent one.
Statewide Alabama federal spending is the parent. CFDA 14.850 is one HUD line. Readers looking for HHS, USDA, or DOT programs in Alabama should use the state programs index.
A mean near $510,951
Average obligation is about $510,951 ($744,455,823 ÷ 1,457). That six-figure mean sits close to Colorado’s Post-9/11 education mean (~$570,180 on 1,576 awards) despite unrelated catalogs. Similar means across HUD and VA cells are coincidences of arithmetic. Do not read $510,951 as the operating cost of one unit.
Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $744,455,823 as given. Treat 1,457 as award records. Obligations are not outlays.
What the Alabama–14.850 pair is not
A shared state tag does not mean Alabama selected these awards as competitive earmarks, and it does not mean operating-fund outlays equal $744,455,823. FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell. Correlation is not causation.

Operating-fund overlay is not a voucher table
Public Housing Operating Fund in Alabama is the overlay for CFDA 14.850 inside state AL. One thousand four hundred fifty-seven awards and $744,455,823 will look mid-volume next to Iowa’s 110,347-award commodity file and next to compact cells with fewer than ten rows. Housing authority names, development lists, and unit counts are not in the packet. This page therefore does not publish occupancy or rent rolls. Housing Choice Vouchers, HOME, and CDBG, if they appear under other CFDA numbers, are outside $744,455,823.
Alabama programs is the CFDA index. The national 14.850 hub drops the Alabama filter. Place of performance tagged Alabama is not a Birmingham-versus-Mobile map. Treat 1,457 as award records, not as a count of buildings, and treat about $510,951 as a mean, not the operating cost of one unit. Obligations are not outlays. FEC donations do not fund this HUD cell. A shared state tag does not mean Alabama selected the awards as competitive earmarks.
