Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments Program obligations in New York

What the 14.195–New York join is

CFDA 14.195 is titled SECTION 8 HOUSING ASSISTANCE PAYMENTS PROGRAM. Crossed with New York place of performance, obligations sum to $6,184,980,788 on 3,851 awards. The national 14.195 hub includes other states. New York’s spending hub includes other programs. Only this intersection is reported here. $6,184,980,788 is an obligation aggregate from USAspending.gov, not an outlay and not a count of assisted units in New York City, Buffalo, or Rochester.

3,851 awards is a thicker HUD book than the Public Housing Operating Fund cell in the same state. Project-based HAP often posts as many property- or contract-level instruments. The join does not name owners, list developments, or count occupied units. Packet facts stop at $6,184,980,788, 3,851 awards, NY, and 14.195.

14.195 is not Housing Choice Vouchers

Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers (CFDA 14.871) and the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) are different HUD catalogs. Mixing those dollars into $6,184,980,788 would invent a broader housing total than this cell contains. Facts available: New York, CFDA 14.195, $6,184,980,788, 3,851 awards. Occupancy rates and wait-list counts are not in the facts.

The catalog title names Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments Program, not a ranking of PHA need. Dividing $6,184,980,788 by 3,851 yields about $1,606,071 per award—a record-level ratio, not a typical monthly HAP per unit. Unique recipients are unpublished. 3,851 is not a count of developments.

New York geography on the HAP tag

NY is the place-of-performance code. A HAP award can still appear as records tagged to New York City, Albany, or another in-state address. Awards coded to New Jersey, Pennsylvania, or Connecticut stay outside $6,184,980,788 even when a household lives in a cross-border metro. The code does not convert $6.18 billion into a development map.

New York federal spending is the all-program parent. 14.195 is one row on New York programs. $6.18 billion is not the state’s complete federal footprint. Open Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments Program in New York for the filtered table, CFDA 14.195 for 14.195 without a New York filter, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those parents into $6,184,980,788.

Reading 3,851 awards under $6.18 billion

$6,184,980,788 ÷ 3,851 is about $1,606,071 per award. That average is a ratio of two packet facts, not a typical contract HAP and not a median. Net obligations can include downward modifications; the total shown is the aggregate in the facts. Treat 3,851 as a record count, not as 3,851 finished properties.

USAspending obligations can be positive new awards or net of downward modifications; $6,184,980,788 is the net total supplied in the facts. Without a transaction register, you cannot see how many of the 3,851 rows are continuations, corrections, or annual HAP contracts. Later ingests can restate $6,184,980,788 without changing the join key of 14.195 and NY.

What the HAP–New York pair does not prove

A large 14.195 total tagged to New York does not measure whether buildings were maintained, and it does not equal services delivered. FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell. Correlation is not causation. The headline remains $6,184,980,788 on 3,851 awards for Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments in New York.

Keep both sides of the join: Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments Program and New York, obligations only. Do not annualize $6,184,980,788 without a year field—this packet publishes none. Do not treat 3,851 as a unit census. Quote USAspending.gov and the overlay path rather than a housing-quality story.
