- The National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 prohibits the Director 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 and familiarity 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) - Supplemental is a FEMA grant opportunity designed to strengthen how National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) communities carry out floodplain management responsibilities. The core idea is straightforward: FEMA uses a state-based grant mechanism to help make sure participating communities are not just enrolled in the NFIP on paper, but are actively meeting the program's flood loss reduction goals. The funding supports states in delivering hands-on technical assistance to local governments and in reviewing how well communities are implementing NFIP floodplain management requirements. Over time, this is meant to build stronger floodplain management capability at both the community and state level.
This opportunity is offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement, which typically means the federal agency expects close coordination and substantial involvement in how the work is carried out, rather than simply providing funds and stepping back. The funded activity is categorized as state floodplain management technical assistance, reflecting the emphasis on practical support, oversight, and performance evaluation for local NFIP implementation. FEMA describes CAP SSSE as a way to supplement FEMA Regional capacity by leveraging state personnel and expertise to assist communities, monitor community compliance and performance, and help pursue corrective actions when problems are identified in local floodplain management programs.
Eligibility is limited to state governments. The program is grounded in the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, which bars FEMA from providing flood insurance in a community unless that community adopts and enforces floodplain management measures meeting or exceeding minimum NFIP criteria, as laid out in 44 CFR Part 60.3. Those local measures may be implemented through floodplain management ordinances, building codes, zoning provisions, or similar authorities. The Act also directs FEMA to work closely with states and communities and provide technical assistance as needed. In practice, CAP SSSE reflects that mandate by formally supporting state-level capacity to help communities understand requirements, apply them correctly, and maintain compliance over time.
A key structural feature mentioned in the announcement is the role of the State Coordinating Agency, designated by the Governor under 44 CFR 60.25. FEMA highlights why states are well positioned for this work: state officials often have direct familiarity with state legal frameworks and how state authorities connect to local ordinances and codes, and they typically understand related state programs that can affect or support floodplain management. Through the partnering approach described, state staff can be deployed to assist NFIP communities while also helping FEMA Regions with monitoring, evaluation, and follow-through on needed improvements.
The funding opportunity number is DHS-11-MT-023-001-98, and the CFDA number listed is 97.023 (Community Assistance Program State Support Services Element). FEMA anticipated 52 awards with an estimated total funding amount of $10,000,000. The announcement also notes that cost sharing or matching is required, so applicants would need to plan for an eligible non-federal contribution consistent with program rules and the specific terms of the award.
Key dates in the posted notice include a posted/creation date of Aug 11, 2011, and a closing date of Aug 26, 2011, with an additional 30-day grace period allowed for application submission. The listing is associated with FEMA Region 1 in the agency field.
