- 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 cooperative agreement opportunity designed to strengthen how National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) communities carry out local floodplain management responsibilities. The central aim is flood loss reduction: making sure communities that participate in the NFIP are not just enrolled, but are actually adopting, enforcing, and maintaining floodplain management measures that meet or exceed NFIP minimum standards. In practice, the program uses State-level grants to help States provide hands-on technical assistance to local jurisdictions and to review and evaluate how well those jurisdictions are implementing NFIP requirements. Over time, the intent is to build real, durable expertise at both the community and State level so that floodplain management becomes more consistent, more technically sound, and more effective at reducing future flood damage.
This program is rooted in the legal structure of the NFIP. Under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, FEMA cannot make flood insurance available in a community unless that community adopts and enforces floodplain management measures consistent with minimum federal criteria (referenced in 44 CFR Part 60.3). Those measures commonly show up as local floodplain ordinances, building code provisions, and zoning requirements that regulate development in flood-prone areas. The Act also directs FEMA to work closely with States and communities and to provide technical assistance as needed. CAP SSSE is one of the main ways FEMA operationalizes that partnership, by funding States so they can extend FEMA regional capacity and help ensure communities remain compliant and effective in their floodplain management duties.
A key feature of CAP SSSE is the role of the State Coordinating Agency designated by the Governor under 44 CFR 60.25. The program assumes States are often well-positioned to deliver these services because they understand State legal and administrative frameworks, can connect local floodplain requirements to related State programs, and typically have established working relationships with local governments. Through the State partnering agreement, State personnel are made available to assist and supplement FEMA Regional offices by providing community-level support, monitoring implementation, assessing community performance, and helping drive corrective actions when gaps are identified. In other words, the State is funded to be a practical extension of FEMA in the field, helping communities interpret requirements, improve procedures, and address deficiencies before they become chronic compliance problems.
The opportunity is listed as a discretionary funding program using a cooperative agreement instrument, which generally signals FEMA expects substantial involvement and coordination during the period of performance rather than a simple pass-through award. The funding activity is described as State Floodplain Management Technical Assistance, and the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) number associated with the program is 97.023. The estimated total funding amount for this supplemental announcement is $10,000,000, with an expected 52 awards, aligning with the idea that each State or State-level entity could receive an award to support NFIP assistance and oversight functions. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning applicants should expect to contribute non-federal resources consistent with the program terms.
Eligibility is limited to State governments, reflecting the program design that relies on State coordinating capacity and State-appointed leadership for NFIP-related flood loss reduction work. The announcement is associated with FEMA Region 4, and the funding opportunity number is DHS 11 MT 023 004 98. The posting and creation date are August 11, 2011, with an original and current closing date of August 26, 2011, and the notice specifies a 30-day grace period for application submission. The listing was archived on September 25, 2011.
