- 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. Its central aim is to reduce flood losses by making sure participating communities are not only enrolled in the NFIP, but are actually meeting the program's flood loss reduction objectives in day-to-day practice. FEMA does this by funding state-led support, so states can deliver hands-on technical assistance to local governments and can also review how well communities are administering and enforcing NFIP floodplain management requirements. Over time, the program is meant to build deeper floodplain management expertise at both the local and state levels, improving consistency, compliance, and overall capability.
This opportunity is offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement, which typically means FEMA expects an active partnership role rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The activity focus is described as state floodplain management technical assistance, which reflects the program's practical emphasis: helping communities understand and apply floodplain rules, improve local ordinances and procedures, and address gaps that could put NFIP eligibility or community resilience at risk. The funding is routed through state governments, reinforcing the idea that state coordinating agencies are often best positioned to work across local jurisdictions and align floodplain management with state authorities, related programs, and enforcement structures.
Eligibility is limited to state governments. The program is grounded in the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 and FEMA's regulations, which require communities to adopt and enforce floodplain management measures that meet or exceed minimum NFIP criteria (including the standards in 44 CFR Part 60.3) as a condition of flood insurance availability. Those floodplain management measures may be implemented through local ordinances, building codes, zoning provisions, or similar legal tools. The notice also highlights the governor-designated State Coordinating Agency concept under 44 CFR 60.25, emphasizing that governors can designate the state entity that will lead and coordinate these flood loss reduction activities. In practice, CAP SSSE is structured to make state personnel available to assist and supplement FEMA regional offices by providing technical assistance, monitoring and evaluating community performance, and helping pursue corrective actions when communities are not meeting their local floodplain management responsibilities.
The announcement lists an estimated total funding amount of $10,000,000 and anticipates 52 awards, aligning with a model where each state or comparable jurisdiction can receive support. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning recipients are expected to contribute non-federal resources toward the overall project cost as part of the award conditions. The funding opportunity number is DHS 11 MT 023 002 98, and the CFDA number is 97.023 (Community Assistance Program State Support Services Element). The issuing office is FEMA Region 2, and the posting date is August 11, 2011, with an application closing date of August 26, 2011; the notice specifies a 30-day grace period for submission.
For access and administrative support, the listing points applicants to Grants.gov for more information and provides a FEMA contact for technical difficulties with the electronic announcement: the Systems and Business Support Branch at GMD Systems Branch@fema.gov.
