14.850 is not Housing Choice Vouchers

Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers (CFDA 14.871) in Pennsylvania is a different HUD catalog. Operating subsidy is not tenant-based vouchers. Mixing 14.850 and 14.871 invents a combined housing book. Mixing those series into $2,210,564,989 would invent a broader total than this cell contains. Facts available: Pennsylvania, CFDA 14.850, $2,210,564,989, 1,897 awards. PHA names, development names, and unit counts are unpublished.

The catalog title names Public Housing Operating Fund, not a ranking of Pennsylvania PHAs. Dividing $2,210,564,989 by 1,897 yields about $1.17 million per award. Unique recipients are unpublished. 1,897 is not a unit, development, or PHA census.

Pennsylvania geography, not a development roster

PA is the place-of-performance code. Awards billed to Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, or Scranton can share the tag. Awards coded to Ohio, New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, and West Virginia stay outside $2,210,564,989 even when activity later crosses those lines. The code does not convert $2.21 billion into a development-by-development ledger.

Pennsylvania federal spending is the all-program parent. 14.850 is one row on Pennsylvania programs. $2.21 billion is not the state’s complete federal footprint. Open Public Housing Operating Fund in Pennsylvania for the filtered table, CFDA 14.850 for the catalog without a Pennsylvania filter, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those parents into $2,210,564,989.

1,897 operating-fund rows, still obligations

$2,210,564,989 ÷ 1,897 is about $1.17 million per award. That average is a low-seven-figure mean, not a median. Net obligations can include downward modifications; the total shown is the aggregate in the facts. Treat 1,897 as a record count, not as 1,897 unique developments or 1,897 named PHAs.

Without a transaction register, you cannot see how many of the 1,897 rows are continuations, renewals, or corrections. Later ingests can restate $2,210,564,989 without changing the join key of 14.850 and PA. USAspending obligations can be positive new awards or net of downward modifications; $2,210,564,989 is the net total supplied in the facts. The pair remains Public Housing Operating Fund plus Pennsylvania. Do not treat $2,210,564,989 as an outlay series.
