- 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 discretionary grant opportunity offered through a cooperative agreement to help make sure local governments that participate in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) are actually meeting the NFIP's flood loss reduction goals. The basic idea is that FEMA funds state governments so they can provide hands-on technical assistance to NFIP communities and also review how well those communities are carrying out required floodplain management responsibilities. By doing this work at the state level, the program aims to strengthen both community and state capability, deepen floodplain management expertise, and improve consistency and effectiveness in how NFIP requirements are implemented across participating jurisdictions.
A central driver behind the program is the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, which ties a community's ability to access federally backed flood insurance to that community adopting and enforcing floodplain management measures that meet or exceed the minimum criteria in 44 CFR Part 60.3. Those measures may be implemented through local floodplain ordinances, building codes, zoning rules, or similar regulatory tools. The Act also directs FEMA to work closely with states and communities and to provide technical assistance as needed, and CAP SSSE is one of the mechanisms FEMA uses to deliver that assistance at scale. Through a state partnering agreement, CAP SSSE is designed to put qualified state personnel in a position to assist and supplement FEMA regional staff by working directly with communities on NFIP compliance, identifying gaps, helping interpret requirements, and supporting communities as they improve their programs.
The work funded under CAP SSSE generally centers on technical assistance and performance evaluation. That can include helping communities understand and properly apply NFIP floodplain management standards, supporting administration and enforcement practices, reviewing local rules and procedures for alignment with federal criteria, and monitoring or assessing community implementation to determine whether corrective actions are needed. The opportunity materials emphasize that states can often deliver these services effectively because they understand state authorities and how state-level programs interact with local ordinances and enforcement structures. This is reinforced by 44 CFR 60.25, under which governors designate a state coordinating agency to carry out NFIP flood loss reduction activities, positioning the state as a key intermediary between FEMA and local jurisdictions.
Administratively, this supplemental opportunity is identified as DHS-11-MT-023-005-98 and is listed under CFDA 97.023 for CAP SSSE. It was posted and created on August 11, 2011, with an application closing date of August 26, 2011, and a noted 30-day grace period for submission. FEMA anticipated making 52 awards with an estimated total funding level of $10,000,000. The eligible applicants are state governments, consistent with the program's design of routing funds through a state grant mechanism to support statewide NFIP assistance and oversight functions. The awarding office is FEMA Region 5, and the activity category is described as state floodplain management technical assistance. The opportunity also indicates a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning recipients would be expected to contribute some level of non-federal support as part of the project budget structure.
