Public Housing Operating Fund in Pennsylvania 3rd District (PA-03)

The Pennsylvania 3rd District (PA-03) filter on Public housing ops

CFDA 14.850 and congressional district PA-03 meet here. $486,697,416 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Public Housing Operating Fund’s nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to Pennsylvania 3rd District (PA-03), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split developments or bedroom sizes and does not publish a household denominator. 3 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. It is not a unit census, an authority roster, or a named-property file.

Dividing $486,697,416 by 3 yields about $162,232,472 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical operating subsidy or a posted per-unit figure. 3 awards against a $486.70 million operating-fund cell is extreme concentration. Do not invent three named housing authorities. Do not treat PA-03’s 14.850 cell as a synonym for every Public housing ops account nationwide. Open Pennsylvania 3rd District for the district table without this program filter, CFDA 14.850 for CFDA 14.850 without the PA-03 filter, Pennsylvania federal spending for every program in the Pennsylvania extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $486,697,416.

The Public housing ops catalog line

USAspending labels CFDA 14.850 as Public Housing Operating Fund. That catalog number produced $486,697,416 when crossed with Pennsylvania 3rd District (PA-03) place of performance. The program-wide 14.850 hub does not require PA-03 geography. The district hub does not require Public housing ops. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 3 awards. The packet does not split developments or bedroom sizes and does not publish a household denominator.

Correlation is not causation: Pennsylvania 3rd District (PA-03) did not “cause” $486,697,416 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 14.850 × PA-03 only. It is not a unit census, an authority roster, or a named-property file. Do not invent contractors or award recipients to fill the gap. Campaign donations on FEC tables do not fund this USAspending cell; the datasets are separate.

Reading the PA-03 stamp

Pennsylvania 3rd District (PA-03) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list PA-03 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Pennsylvania districts belong on those ties even when the CFDA is also 14.850. Pennsylvania 3rd District (PA-03) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Pennsylvania. Other Pennsylvania districts are separate joins even when they reuse CFDA 14.850. Pennsylvania 3rd District (PA-03) is the same place-of-performance stamp as CFDA 93.855 and CFDA 93.847. Operating Fund is CFDA 14.850, a HUD line.

Pennsylvania federal spending shows how CFDA 14.850 sits beside other programs in the same state extract. $486,697,416 is one district-program column, not the state table. This packet does not split Pennsylvania 3rd District (PA-03) by county, city, or census tract. Awards that carry a different CFDA stay on those other ties even if the work sounds related to Public Housing Operating Fund. The district-wide obligation total published here is $11,205,842,981.38; $486,697,416 is the Public housing ops slice of that denominator.

USAspending obligations on this pair

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $486,697,416 is that kind of sum for Public Housing Operating Fund inside PA-03 coding. Later deobligations, recoveries, or payment schedules can change what leaves the Treasury without this join rewriting itself into a cash register. Assistance and contract awards can share the same CFDA rollup; this packet does not split them. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $486,697,416 as given.

Pennsylvania’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 3-row Public housing ops cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 3 as award records in the aggregate, not unique vendors. 3 is not a count of units, authorities, or households. Do not annualize without a year field in the packet. Do not per-capita or per-recipient the dollar total; those denominators are unpublished. The implied mean ($162,232,472) is a concentration statistic, not a typical operating subsidy or a posted per-unit figure.

The pair is not a unit census, an authority roster, or a named-property file. 4.3% of $11,205,842,981.38 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score. Illinois 7th also hosts CFDA 14.850 on a different geography. Do not add PA-03 research dollars into this HUD cell.

Row count versus dollar concentration

3 awards against a $486.70 million operating-fund cell is extreme concentration. Do not invent three named housing authorities. A large row count makes a project split tempting; the packet still does not supply one. A small row count makes a named-facility story tempting; the packet still does not name facilities or contractors. The implied mean (about $162,232,472) and the district share (4.3% of $11,205,842,981.38) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Pennsylvania 3rd District and CFDA 14.850 if the live tables moved.

Questions

How much Public housing ops spending is coded to Pennsylvania 3rd District (PA-03)?

USAspending.gov lists $486,697,416 in Public Housing Operating Fund obligations across 3 awards with place of performance in Pennsylvania 3rd District (PA-03). CFDA 14.850 × PA-03 is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Pennsylvania’s complete federal ledger. The cell is 4.3% of the district’s published total ($11,205,842,981.38). Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $162,232,472, a ratio of those two facts only.

Does $486,697,416 include every Public housing ops project in PA-03?

The packet publishes one CFDA rollup. The packet does not split developments or bedroom sizes and does not publish a household denominator. $486,697,416 is the combined obligation sum for CFDA 14.850 inside PA-03 coding. This page will not invent a project pie or name contractors. Open CFDA 14.850 and Pennsylvania 3rd District to inspect parent tables. 3 remains an action count, not a count of units, authorities, or households.

Is $486,697,416 cash already paid in Pennsylvania 3rd District (PA-03)?

No. Obligations are commitments recorded on USAspending.gov awards. Outlays — money that actually left the Treasury — are a different concept and are not this packet’s headline. Treating $486,697,416 as checks already cleared in Pennsylvania 3rd District (PA-03) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 3 awards. Prefer the live district and program hubs if the tables moved.

Why is the implied average $162,232,472 not a typical award?

The average is $486,697,416 divided by 3 awards, about $162,232,472. Thick files pull the mean down; thin files pull it up. Neither case publishes a typical instrument. Modifications add rows. Recipients are unpublished. Use the ratio only as a concentration statistic.
