Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments obligations in Tennessee

One thousand seven hundred seventy-four HAP records

This tie keeps USAspending assistance where CFDA 14.195 meets Tennessee place of performance. The dollar book is $1,200,433,692. The award count is 1,774. Project-based Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments typically post as many contract-level actions with owners and contract administrators rather than a single statewide formula grant. One thousand seven hundred seventy-four records still do not equal 1,774 apartment communities; renewals, amendments, and modifications can share the tape.

The join does not prove that Tennessee’s rent-burden rate, Nashville-area growth, or a particular public-housing authority caseload caused $1,200,433,692. Those are other series. This packet does not split elderly properties from family properties. Correlation is not causation.

A reader who treats the cell as Tennessee’s full HUD obligation book has left the CFDA-by-state definition. Tenant-based vouchers sit on a different catalog number. The 1,774 figure is a record count, not a unit count.

A contract-scale tape, not a formula block

One thousand seven hundred seventy-four awards under $1,200,433,692 imply a mean near $676,682 per award. Large multi-year HAP contracts can sit above that average; smaller amendments can sit below it. The packet has no median and no share on the largest ten contracts.

Compared with single-award BEAD or CRF cells, 1,774 rows is a much thicker tape for a similar dollar order of magnitude. That contrast is a filing pattern: project-based HAP posts at the contract grain. Cite both columns. USAspending.gov is the source; SpendingVault does not recast the mean as a typical monthly HAP or as a typical unit subsidy.

Tennessee’s 14.195 cell versus the statewide stack

Tennessee’s state hub stacks every CFDA with performance coded to the state. Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments is one HUD line. $1,200,433,692 is not Tennessee’s all-program total. The nationwide CFDA 14.195 page includes every state, so it is not this cell.

Place-of-performance for a HAP contract usually follows the property’s state even when the owner is incorporated elsewhere. This packet does not reallocate dollars to counties. Read the overlay as a coding view of 1,774 awards.

Obligations versus monthly HAP

The $1,200,433,692 figure is an obligation sum. Monthly housing-assistance payments can trail or split across the contract year. SpendingVault does not publish a 14.195-in-Tennessee outlay total in this packet. Mixing ACS rent-burden or homelessness statistics with this award file leaves the USAspending series.

Cite the join as CFDA 14.195 × Tennessee, $1,200,433,692, 1,774 awards, obligations only.

Parent hubs

The Tennessee × Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments overlay is the table view. Recipient slices on that hub still sum toward $1,200,433,692 on 1,774 awards. The Tennessee spending page and the CFDA 14.195 program page are the parents. The Tennessee programs index and the ties index list other pairs.

None of those links convert the cell into a unit count or into outlays this packet omits.

What Tennessee Section 8 HAP is not

The Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments Program in Tennessee is not a ranking of cities by rent burden and not a count of Housing Choice Vouchers. The $1,200,433,692 figure is the CFDA 14.195 × Tennessee cell. One thousand seven hundred seventy-four awards describe project-based HAP contract filing, including renewals and amendments, not 1,774 properties. Tenant-based vouchers sit on a different catalog number.

Elderly and family properties that still carry 14.195 are not split in this packet. Cite Section 8 HAP and Tennessee together, keep the obligation label, and keep the 1,774-award count. Monthly housing-assistance payments can split across the contract year. Later bulk files can revise both dollars and the record count. The overlay is the live table.

Tennessee’s Section 8 HAP cell also does not include unit counts, elderly-versus-family property flags, or Housing Choice Voucher caseloads. Those series live with HUD and contract administrators. SpendingVault cites USAspending.gov obligations only: CFDA 14.195 × Tennessee, $1,200,433,692, 1,774 awards. If a later extract revises the 1,774-row tape, the implied mean near $676,682 moves with it. Quote the packet facts and the overlay path rather than a rent-burden ranking.
