Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments Program federal funding in Maine

Maine place of performance crossed with HAP listing 14.195

This tie exists because assistance awards tagged SECTION 8 HOUSING ASSISTANCE PAYMENTS PROGRAM also carry Maine as place of performance. SpendingVault sums those tagged obligations: $633,753,509 on 967 awards. The pair is not a rent-burden index, not a Portland-versus-rural split, and not a count of vouchers in use. Place of performance is a coding field. Recipients and assisted households can sit in a different county than a casual reader expects.

Other HUD listings for Maine — tenant-based vouchers on a different CFDA, public housing, or homelessness grants — are outside $633,753,509 unless they also carry 14.195. Sibling HAP pages for Alabama and Colorado in this slice are separate obligation totals. Correlation between this obligation sum and Maine rents is not causation; rent statistics are not in the packet. Place of performance as Maine locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $633,753,509 in the state treasury. Alabama and Colorado 14.195 joins in this slice are sibling obligation totals, not a ranking of housing markets.

967 HAP award rows behind $633.8 million

Award count is a row count of assistance awards, including possible renewals and modifications. It is not a census of Maine apartment buildings or landlords. Mean obligation is about $655,381 if $633,753,509 were spread evenly across 967 lines — a mechanical ratio close to Colorado's HAP mean on this slice, which is coincidence of arithmetic, not a published contract size. The packet has no urban/rural split and no bedroom-count table.

Project-based HAP contracts often appear as owner or administrator awards. This extract does not label instrument type. Open the Maine 14.195 overlay to inspect names and amounts. Do not convert 967 into a map of every assisted property in the state. The $633,753,509 join stays an obligation rollup on tagged awards.

Commitments versus rent paid on Maine 14.195

Housing Assistance Payments in everyday language are monthly federal rent shares. USAspending still stores $633,753,509 as obligations. Draws can lag commitments. Deobligations can reduce what is paid without this catalog line becoming an outlay table. No fiscal year is attached; the extract is the indexed sum, not a single HAP contract year.

Local housing authorities publish voucher utilization and waiting-list figures that this packet does not contain. If those local numbers disagree with $633,753,509, the usual reason is a different metric or a different CFDA. SpendingVault keeps the assistance-obligation definition so Maine's 14.195 row matches other state-program joins. Tenant-based vouchers may sit on other listings and are outside this HAP join unless they also carry 14.195.

What the Maine Section 8 HAP join omits

The file has no unit count, no Fair Market Rent table, and no household income data. It does not say how much of $633,753,509 is southern Maine versus Downeast or the interior. Facts remain dollars, 967 awards, CFDA 14.195, and Maine. This page will not invent a regional split.

Maine federal spending and Maine programs place 14.195 among other listings. CFDA 14.195 is the national HAP catalog line. All spending ties indexes other CFDA x state pairs. Mixing those views would invent a percentage of HUD spending this packet never calculated. The $633,753,509 figure is the tagged pair only.

Start with Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments Program in Maine for the 967-award table behind $633,753,509. CFDA 14.195 is the nationwide listing. Maine federal spending and Maine programs give state context. All spending ties is the shelf for other program-by-state joins on the same obligation metric.

Nine hundred sixty-seven awards remain a row count on CFDA 14.195.

Questions

How much Section 8 HAP funding is obligated in Maine?

USAspending.gov shows $633,753,509 in obligations for CFDA 14.195 with Maine as place of performance, across 967 awards. The sum is a commitment total on assistance awards, not outlays and not Maine's full housing budget. Other HUD listings are outside this join unless they also carry 14.195.

Do 967 awards equal 967 Maine housing projects?

No. Award count is a row count of assistance awards and can include renewals. It is not a property census or household count. The packet does not split project-based contracts from other instruments. See the Maine 14.195 overlay for named award lines.

Is $634 million already paid as Maine rent assistance?

Not on this metric. Obligations are recorded commitments on assistance awards. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $633,753,509 headline is the obligation rollup in SpendingVault's extract. HAP disbursements, remaining balances, and waiting-list counts are not published in this packet.

Does this include all Maine Section 8 vouchers?

Not necessarily. This page is CFDA 14.195 — Housing Assistance Payments Program — crossed with Maine place of performance. Tenant-based vouchers may sit on other listings. Those dollars are not inside $633,753,509 unless the award also carries 14.195.
