Maine x 10.427 is a rental-assistance join, not a unit census
This page pairs CFDA 10.427, RURAL RENTAL ASSISTANCE PAYMENTS, with Maine place of performance. Rural Rental Assistance, in program language, helps eligible tenants in USDA-financed rural rental properties pay rent. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $313,974,699.40 on 309 awards. The extract does not list properties, units, or tenants. Treat the pair as a catalog intersection, not a ranking of which state has more rural housing need, and not a claim that 309 awards equal 309 buildings.
Other USDA listings — Section 515 rural rental, SNAP, or different Rural Development codes — sit outside $313,974,699.40 unless they also carry 10.427. Mixing rental assistance with SNAP would invent a combined state figure the packet never computed. Correlation between this obligation sum and vacancy rates is not causation. Vacancy figures are not in the packet. Place of performance as Maine locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $313,974,699.40 in the state treasury.
309 awards behind $314.0 million
Award count is a row count of assistance awards, including possible property-level lines, annual renewals, and modifications. It is not a census of apartments, landlords, or tenants. Mean obligation is about $1,016,099.35 if $313,974,699.40 were divided evenly across 309 lines — a mechanical ratio, not a published per-unit subsidy, and not a typical monthly payment. The packet has no elderly versus family split inside 10.427.
Three hundred nine lines are too many to narrate one by one. Sort the Maine 10.427 overlay by amount to see concentration. This page will not invent property names. Open Rural Rental Assistance Payments in Maine for the stored table. Do not convert 309 into a map of Maine apartment buildings. The $313,974,699.40 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards. Inspect named lines rather than inferring a unit census.
Rental-assistance obligations are not rent checks already cashed
Rental-assistance awards often obligate as contracts renew and draw as tenant months accrue. The $313,974,699.40 headline is the obligation sum, not a punch-list of households housed and not a Treasury outlay total. No fiscal year is attached. A Rural Development RA allocation dated to a particular year is not automatically this join unless it uses CFDA 10.427, Maine geography, and the obligation metric.
The listing title is Rural Rental Assistance Payments. This extract does not split elderly from family properties, and it does not split new contracts from renewals. Those cuts would require award documentation beyond dollars, 309 awards, CFDA 10.427, and Maine. This page will not invent a property-type share. HUD Section 8 vouchers sit on different CFDA numbers.
What the Maine 10.427 table omits
The extract has no unit count, no tenant list, and no property map. Facts remain $313,974,699.40, 309 awards, CFDA 10.427, and Maine. This page will not invent a ranking against other states’ 10.427 joins. HUD voucher programs are different listings, not Rural Development subsets.
Maine federal spending and Maine programs place 10.427 among other listings. CFDA 10.427 is the national catalog line. All spending ties indexes other CFDA x state pairs. Mixing those shelves would invent a share of USDA spending the packet never computed. The $313,974,699.40 figure is the tagged pair only. Three hundred nine awards remain a property file, not a unit ranking.
