Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers obligations in Georgia

What the 14.871–Georgia join is

CFDA 14.871 is titled SECTION 8 HOUSING CHOICE VOUCHERS. Crossed with Georgia place of performance, the obligation sum is $2,056,724,600 on 1,577 awards. The national Housing Choice Voucher hub includes other states. Georgia’s spending hub includes other programs. Only this intersection is reported here. $2,056,724,600 is an obligation aggregate from USAspending.gov, not an outlay and not a count of leased apartments in Atlanta or Savannah.

A many-award pattern fits tenant-based vouchers: housing authorities and owners often appear as separate assistance records rather than one statewide block. The join does not name those authorities, split Fulton from rural counties, or count households. Packet facts stop at $2,056,724,600, 1,577 awards, GA, and 14.871. Correlation is not causation.

14.871 is not project-based HAP

Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments (CFDA 14.195) is a different HUD catalog. Mixing project-based HAP into $2,056,724,600 would invent a broader rental-assistance total than this cell contains. Public housing capital and operating funds use other numbers still. Facts available: Georgia, CFDA 14.871, $2,056,724,600, 1,577 awards. Bedroom counts, payment standards, and wait-list length are not in the facts.

The catalog title names Housing Choice Vouchers, not a claim about Georgia’s vacancy rate. Dividing $2,056,724,600 by 1,577 yields about $1.30 million per award—a ratio of two packet facts, not a typical Atlanta voucher contract and not a per-household subsidy. Unique recipients are unpublished. 1,577 is not a count of landlords.

Georgia geography on the voucher tag

GA is the place-of-performance code. Awards billed to Atlanta, Augusta, Columbus, or other in-state sites can share the tag. Awards coded to Alabama, Tennessee, Florida, or South Carolina stay outside $2,056,724,600 even when a metro spills across the border. Place of performance does not convert $2.06 billion into a county map of leased units.

Georgia federal spending is the all-program parent. 14.871 is one row on Georgia programs. $2.06 billion is not the state’s complete federal footprint. Open Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers in Georgia for the filtered table, CFDA 14.871 for 14.871 without a Georgia filter, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those parents into $2,056,724,600.

Reading 1,577 awards under $2.06 billion

$2,056,724,600 ÷ 1,577 is about $1.30 million per award. That average is a local-authority scale, not a typical tenant rent share and not a median. Net obligations can include downward modifications; the total shown is the aggregate in the facts. Treat 1,577 as a record count in an aggregate, not as 1,577 finished leases.

USAspending obligations can be positive new awards or net of downward modifications; $2,056,724,600 is the net total supplied in the facts. Without a transaction register on this page, you cannot see how many of the 1,577 rows are continuations, renewals, or corrections. Later ingests can restate $2,056,724,600 without changing the join key of 14.871 and GA.

What the voucher–Georgia pair does not prove

A large 14.871 total tagged to Georgia does not measure whether rents fell, and it does not equal HAP checks cashed. FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell. Correlation is not causation. The headline remains $2,056,724,600 on 1,577 awards for Housing Choice Vouchers in Georgia.

Keep both sides of the join in any citation: Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers and Georgia, obligations only. Do not annualize $2,056,724,600 without a year field—this packet publishes none. Do not treat 1,577 as a household census. Quote USAspending.gov and the overlay path rather than a housing-market story.

Using the Housing Choice Vouchers–Georgia overlay

The overlay target is the Georgia × CFDA 14.871 table. Open Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers in Georgia when you want the same $2,056,724,600 / 1,577-award cell in the site’s data chrome. CFDA 14.871 drops the Georgia filter. Georgia federal spending drops the CFDA filter. Georgia programs lists other catalogs beside Housing Choice Vouchers. All spending ties is the directory of 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 Georgia won or lost federal money, that donations paid for the awards, or that obligations equal cash. The pair is 14.871 plus GA. Obligations of $2,056,724,600 are not outlays.
