Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers funding in California (CFDA 14.871)

CFDA 14.871 and California as a voucher join

This page intersects one Assistance Listings number and one state. $16,590,889,976 is the obligation sum where both filters are true. CFDA 14.871 is Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers, not public housing operating funds and not project-based Section 8. It is not a statewide spending total and not a national CFDA 14.871 total. Those parent tables live on California federal spending and CFDA 14.871.

7,840 awards against $16.6 billion is a thick assistance cell: many actions stacking into a very large book. 7,840 is an award-record count. Amendments can sit beside base awards. The packet does not say how many unique recipients produced the 7,840 lines. Reading 7,840 as students, clinics, veterans, or housing authorities in California would confuse actions with people or agencies.

California programs lists other CFDA numbers with CA place of performance. All spending ties indexes other state–program pairs. Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers in California is the live overlay for this cell. Do not sum those indexes into $16,590,889,976. The headline remains $16,590,889,976 on 7,840 awards for this pair alone.

Housing Choice Vouchers, not public housing ops

CFDA 14.871 is the catalog key assigned on the award. CFDA 14.871 is Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers, not public housing operating funds and not project-based Section 8. Public Housing Operating Fund (14.850) and Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments (14.195, if used) are different catalog pages. Those neighboring numbers never enter $16,590,889,976 unless they also appear as 14.871, which they do not. Keep the catalog label when you cite the California cell.

Voucher folklore can name waiting lists; those household counts are not packet fields. Unique PHAs are unpublished. Dividing $16,590,889,976 by 7,840 produces about $2.12 million. That quotient is arithmetic, not a typical California benefit. There is no median, no top-award table, and no fiscal-year breakout on this packet. Do not treat the mean as a posted payment.

California geography on a voucher cell

California place of performance can cover a housing authority, a county office, or a reporting address. The packet has no PHA split. Inside the CA tag, Los Angeles, San Francisco, or a named housing authority are not broken out. The packet has one state key. A named city can sit inside $16,590,889,976 only if its awards carry CFDA 14.871 and CA — which this narrative cannot verify.

Place-of-performance geography is not the same as recipient headquarters. A grantee based elsewhere can administer in California, and a California address can appear on work done out of state. This join reports the coded pair, not a case-file map. California federal spending remains the statewide parent.

Obligations versus outlays for California 14.871

USAspending obligations are commitments, not checks that have cleared. $16,590,889,976 can include amounts that will be paid later, cancelled, or modified. The packet does not publish outlays. 7,840 is not a payment count. Quote CFDA 14.871 in California as obligations and leave fiscal-year folklore off the citation — years are unpublished here.

What the voucher–California pair does not prove

The Housing Choice Vouchers–California pair does not prove that California specialized in this program because of federal demand, or the reverse. Voucher folklore can name waiting lists; those household counts are not packet fields. Unique PHAs are unpublished. Campaign-finance tables are a different dataset; donations do not fund these awards. Keep both sides of the join in any headline: CFDA 14.871 and California.
