| # CDBG Timeliness Test Failures: free sample (Tensorust LLC)
|
|
|
| 232 CDBG grantees sit above HUD's 1.5x timeliness line, $198M over it, each with its next test date.
|
|
|
| **Headline:** HUD measures every CDBG entitlement grantee 60 days before its program year: an undrawn balance above 1.5 times the annual grant is a timeliness failure, and repeat failures cost grant money.
|
|
|
| This repository is a **free teaser**, not the dataset. It holds 25 example rows and a summary table with no names in it. The full file has **1,179 rows** and is sold by Tensorust LLC: **[https://tensorust.com/datasets/cdbg-timeliness/](https://tensorust.com/datasets/cdbg-timeliness/)**.

|
|
| ## Method and limits
|
|
|
| For each grantee, sum obligation minus cumulative outlays over its B-20 to B-26 entitlement grants (CDBG-CV excluded) and divide by the most recent grant. The next test date is 60 days before the program year start HUD recorded on the B-22 to B-24 grants. Grants before FY2020 are left out because USAspending outlays start in FY2020, so a balance can only be understated, never inflated. Status: over 1.5x, near (1.3x to 1.5x), under 1.3x.
|
|
|
| Not HUD's official timeliness determination (HUD uses IDIS draw data, which can differ by a few weeks of draws and by program income). Not a finding of noncompliance. Not legal advice. Public award data only, no contact data.
