Refugee and Entrant Assistance obligations in the District of Columbia

What the 93.566–District of Columbia join reports

CFDA 93.566 is titled REFUGEE AND ENTRANT ASSISTANCE STATE/REPLACEMENT DESIGNEE ADMINISTERED PROGRAMS. Crossed with District of Columbia place of performance, the obligation sum is $247,708,926.95 on 29 awards. The national 93.566 hub includes other states. The District’s spending hub includes other programs. Only this intersection is reported here. $247,708,926.95 is an obligation aggregate from USAspending.gov, not an outlay and not a count of people resettled in the District.

Other Office of Refugee Resettlement catalogs—voluntary agency matching, unaccompanied children, and survivor assistance—use different CFDA numbers. Mixing them into $247,708,926.95 would invent a broader ORR total than this cell contains. Packet facts are $247,708,926.95, 29 awards, DC, and 93.566. Correlation is not causation.

Twenty-nine awards are not twenty-nine resettlement agencies

The facts report 29 award records, not the identity of replacement designees or local affiliates. A lead agency can post multiple instruments across modifications. Unique recipients are unpublished. 29 is not a census of District service sites.

A simple mean near $8.54 million per award is arithmetic only. The packet publishes no median, no maximum, and no year field. Do not annualize $247,708,926.95. Downward modifications, if present in the raw file, are already netted into the supplied total. Contractor names are not invented here.

District of Columbia geography on the 93.566 tag

DC is the place-of-performance code. A replacement-designee award can post to a District address even when clients live in Maryland or Virginia. Awards coded solely to Maryland or Virginia stay outside $247,708,926.95. The facts do not split the 29 awards by ward.

District of Columbia federal spending is the all-program parent. 93.566 is one row on District of Columbia programs. $247.7 million is not the District’s complete federal footprint. Open Refugee And Entrant Assistance State/Replacement Designee Administered Programs in District of Columbia for the filtered table, CFDA 93.566 for the catalog without a DC filter, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those parents into $247,708,926.95.

What the join does not prove about refugee assistance in DC

A large 93.566 total tagged to the District of Columbia does not measure employment outcomes, housing placements, or length of stay. It does not equal benefits paid. FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell. The headline remains $247,708,926.95 on 29 awards for Refugee And Entrant Assistance State/Replacement Designee Administered Programs in the District of Columbia.

Keep both sides of the join: the 93.566 catalog and the District of Columbia, obligations only. Quote USAspending.gov and the overlay path rather than an arrivals story. Do not annualize $247,708,926.95; this packet publishes no year field.

Using the DC × 93.566 overlay

The overlay target is the District of Columbia × CFDA 93.566 table.

This page exists because two tables meet: a CFDA program and a place-of-performance geography. It does not exist to rank the District, to name agencies, or to treat obligations as cash. The pair is 93.566 plus DC. Obligations of $247,708,926.95 are not outlays. Cite Refugee And Entrant Assistance State/Replacement Designee Administered Programs together with the District of Columbia whenever you reuse $247,708,926.95. 29 remains an award-record count on USAspending.gov. The overlay path is the live table for this 93.566 × DC cell. Later bulk files can restate $247,708,926.95 without changing the join key.

Limits of the packet facts for DC 93.566

The packet publishes four numbers and two labels: $247,708,926.95, 29 awards, District of Columbia, and CFDA 93.566. It does not publish fiscal year, unique recipients, arrival counts, or outlays. Replacement-designee names are unpublished and are not invented here.

Researchers who need award-level rows should open the overlay table and USAspending.gov rather than stretch $247,708,926.95 into a resettlement evaluation. The join is a filter, not a causal claim. FEC files do not explain the 29 awards. Keep the 93.566 catalog named with the District of Columbia in every reuse of $247,708,926.95. AwardCount stays 29 until a new ingest revises it.
