- 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-supported, state-administered grant opportunity designed to strengthen how National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) communities carry out floodplain management. Its core purpose is to make sure participating communities are meeting the NFIP's flood loss reduction goals, not just on paper, but in day-to-day implementation. It does this by funding states to deliver hands-on technical assistance to local governments and to review how well communities are performing their NFIP responsibilities. A major emphasis of the program is building long-term capability, meaning improved expertise at both the state and local levels so floodplain management becomes more consistent, compliant, and effective over time.
This opportunity is offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement, reflecting that FEMA and the recipient state will typically have an active partnership role during performance. The activity focus is state floodplain management technical assistance, which generally includes advising communities on NFIP minimum standards, helping interpret and apply flood maps and floodplain regulations, supporting improvements to ordinances and administrative procedures, and working with communities to identify and correct program weaknesses. A key feature is performance evaluation: states are funded to monitor, evaluate, and, when needed, pursue corrective actions related to community implementation of local floodplain management responsibilities. The program is also structured to supplement FEMA Regional capacity by making state personnel available to assist FEMA Regions in delivering these services.
Eligibility is limited to state governments, reflecting the program's design as a state partnering mechanism rather than a direct-to-local grant. The underlying policy basis is the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, which conditions the availability of federal flood insurance on whether a community adopts and enforces floodplain management measures meeting or exceeding the minimum criteria in 44 CFR Part 60.3. Those measures may be implemented through local floodplain management ordinances, building codes, zoning provisions, or similar legal tools. The Act also directs FEMA to work closely with states and communities and provide technical assistance as needed. In practice, CAP SSSE operationalizes that direction by funding state-level capacity to support local compliance and reduce flood risk. Consistent with 44 CFR 60.25, governors have designated a State Coordinating Agency to carry out NFIP flood loss reduction activities, and the notice highlights why states can be especially effective in this role: they understand state legal authorities, how state and local rules interact, and how related state programs can align with NFIP requirements.
The announcement lists an estimated total funding amount of $10,000,000 and anticipates 52 awards, indicating broad geographic participation across states and territories. The CFDA number associated with the program is 97.023 (Community Assistance Program State Support Services Element). Cost sharing or matching is required, so states should expect to contribute non-federal resources consistent with the award terms. The posting date and creation date are August 11, 2011, with an original and current closing date of August 26, 2011, and the notice specifies that a 30-day grace period is allowed for submission of applications. The opportunity was later archived on September 25, 2011. The agency office identified in the listing is FEMA Region 7, and applicants are directed to Grants.gov for full announcement materials and submission details.
