Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments obligations in New Jersey

What the 14.195–New Jersey join is

CFDA 14.195 is titled SECTION 8 HOUSING ASSISTANCE PAYMENTS PROGRAM. Crossed with New Jersey place of performance, the obligation sum is $1,911,953,398 on 1,469 awards. The national HAP hub includes other states. New Jersey’s spending hub includes other programs. Only this intersection is reported here. $1,911,953,398 is an obligation aggregate from USAspending.gov, not an outlay and not a count of project-based units in Newark or Trenton.

A many-award pattern fits project-based HAP: owners and contract administrators often appear as separate assistance records. The join does not name those owners, split Hudson from South Jersey, or count assisted units. Packet facts stop at $1,911,953,398, 1,469 awards, NJ, and 14.195. Correlation is not causation.

14.195 is not tenant-based HCV

Housing Choice Vouchers (CFDA 14.871) is a different HUD catalog. Mixing tenant-based vouchers into $1,911,953,398 would invent a broader rental-assistance total than this cell contains. Public housing operating funds use other numbers still. Facts available: New Jersey, CFDA 14.195, $1,911,953,398, 1,469 awards. Contract rents and HAP payment dates are not in the facts.

The catalog title names Housing Assistance Payments, not a claim about New Jersey’s affordable-housing shortage. Dividing $1,911,953,398 by 1,469 yields about $1.30 million per award—a ratio of two packet facts, not a typical Essex County HAP contract. Unique recipients are unpublished. 1,469 is not a count of buildings.

New Jersey geography on the HAP tag

NJ is the place-of-performance code. Awards billed to Newark, Jersey City, Camden, or other in-state sites can share the tag. Awards coded to New York, Pennsylvania, or Delaware stay outside $1,911,953,398 even when a metro crosses the Hudson or Delaware River. The code does not convert $1.91 billion into a property map.

New Jersey federal spending is the all-program parent. 14.195 is one row on New Jersey programs. $1.91 billion is not the state’s complete federal footprint. Open Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments Program in New Jersey for the filtered table, CFDA 14.195 for 14.195 without a New Jersey filter, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those parents into $1,911,953,398.

Reading 1,469 awards under $1.91 billion

$1,911,953,398 ÷ 1,469 is about $1.30 million per award. That average is a contract-administrator scale, not a typical tenant rent share. It is not a median. Net obligations can include downward modifications; the total shown is the aggregate in the facts. Treat 1,469 as a record count, not as 1,469 finished renovations.

USAspending obligations can be positive new awards or net of downward modifications; $1,911,953,398 is the net total supplied in the facts. Without a transaction register, you cannot see how many of the 1,469 rows are continuations, renewals, or corrections. Later ingests can restate $1,911,953,398 without changing the join key of 14.195 and NJ.

What the HAP–New Jersey pair does not prove

A large 14.195 total tagged to New Jersey does not measure whether projects stayed affordable, and it does not equal checks cashed. FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell. Correlation is not causation. The headline remains $1,911,953,398 on 1,469 awards for Housing Assistance Payments in New Jersey.

Keep both sides of the join: Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments and New Jersey, obligations only. Do not annualize $1,911,953,398 without a year field—this packet publishes none. Do not treat 1,469 as a unit census. Quote USAspending.gov and the overlay path rather than a real-estate story.

Using the HAP–New Jersey overlay

The overlay target is the New Jersey × CFDA 14.195 table. Open Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments Program in New Jersey when you want the same $1,911,953,398 / 1,469-award cell in the site’s data chrome. CFDA 14.195 drops the New Jersey filter. New Jersey federal spending drops the CFDA filter. New Jersey programs lists other catalogs beside Housing Assistance Payments. All spending ties indexes other pairs.

This page exists because two tables meet: a CFDA program and a place-of-performance state. It does not exist to argue that New Jersey won or lost federal money, that donations paid for the awards, or that obligations equal cash. The pair is 14.195 plus NJ. Obligations of $1,911,953,398 are not outlays.
