- The National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 prohibits the Administrator from providing flood insurance in a community unless that community adopts and enforces floodplain management measures that meet or exceed minimum criteria in 44 CFR Part 60.3. These floodplain management measures can take the form of floodplain management ordinances, building codes, or zoning provisions. The Act also directs FEMA to work closely with and provide any necessary technical assistance to States and communities participating in the NFIP. CAP SSSE, through its State partnering agreement, is designed to make State personnel available to assist and supplement FEMA Regions in providing technical assistance to NFIP communities and in monitoring, evaluating, and pursuing corrective actions taken by communities in the performance of local floodplain management responsibilities. Under CFR 60.25, Governors have exercised their prerogative of designating a State Coordinating Agency that is best able to carry out the flood loss reduction activities of the NFIP. State officials can be particularly effective in delivering these services to communities because of their knowledge, skills and familiarity of floodplain management with State governing authorities and how these interrelate with local floodplain management ordinances, as well as their knowledge of related State programs.

Opportunity Summary:
The Community Assistance Program - State Support Services Element (CAP SSSE) - R10 is a FEMA grant opportunity (DHS Funding Opportunity Number DHS-15-MT-023-010-99) that supports state-level floodplain management work tied directly to the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The core purpose is to fund state governments so they can deliver technical assistance to NFIP-participating communities and help evaluate how well those communities are carrying out required floodplain management responsibilities. In practical terms, the program is meant to strengthen day-to-day flood loss reduction efforts by making trained state staff available to work alongside, and extend the capacity of, FEMA Regional offices, especially in monitoring local compliance and helping communities correct problems before they become larger eligibility or enforcement issues.
This opportunity is categorized as a continuation grant and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which typically means FEMA expects an ongoing working relationship with recipients rather than a one-time, hands-off award. The funding activity is described as "State Floodplain Management Technical Assistance," reflecting that the emphasis is on direct support services: advising communities on NFIP requirements, helping interpret and apply federal floodplain standards, and assisting with the administrative and technical tasks that communities must perform to remain in good standing with the program. The overall intent is to improve the consistency and quality of local floodplain management, reduce future flood damages, and keep communities eligible for access to NFIP flood insurance by ensuring they adopt and enforce the minimum measures required under federal rules.
Eligibility is limited to state governments. The background for this limitation comes from the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 and FEMA's regulations. The Act restricts FEMA's ability to provide flood insurance in a community unless that community adopts and enforces floodplain management measures that meet or exceed minimum criteria found at 44 CFR Part 60.3. Those measures can be implemented through local floodplain ordinances, building codes, zoning provisions, or similar legal tools. The same statutory framework also directs FEMA to work closely with states and communities and to provide technical assistance needed to support NFIP participation. CAP SSSE is essentially one of the main vehicles FEMA uses to deliver that assistance at scale, using state partners who often have closer relationships with local governments and a stronger understanding of how state laws and programs interact with local ordinance enforcement.
The program structure relies on a "State Coordinating Agency" designated by the Governor under 44 CFR 60.25. This designated agency is seen as best positioned to carry out NFIP-related flood loss reduction activities within the state. FEMA highlights that state officials can be particularly effective because they tend to have familiarity with local government processes, state-level authorities, and other related state programs that intersect with floodplain management. This positioning helps states provide practical, locally relevant guidance and also supports FEMA's oversight responsibilities by improving the frequency and quality of community monitoring and performance evaluation.
From a funding standpoint, the opportunity listed an estimated total of $10,400,000 and anticipated 52 awards, aligning with a nationwide approach where each state or eligible jurisdiction typically participates. The notice lists no award ceiling or floor (both shown as 0), which generally indicates that award amounts may be determined by formula, allocation method, or negotiated workplan rather than a fixed minimum or maximum published in the summary. Cost sharing or matching is required, meaning recipients should expect to contribute non-federal resources according to program rules and the specific agreement terms. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 97.023, which corresponds to the Community Assistance Program - State Support Services Element.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted on May 1, 2015, with an application deadline of June 15, 2015, and an archive date of July 15, 2015. The awarding office is FEMA Region 10. For applicant support, the listed point of contact was Bret Gates (Bret.Gates@dhs.gov), with a phone number of (202) 646-4133, and guidance was provided to contact him if there were difficulties accessing the full announcement electronically.
