- Eligible applicants include: State governments.
- 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 local floodplain management responsibilities. The basic idea is that flood insurance is only available in communities that adopt and enforce floodplain management measures meeting or exceeding FEMA minimum standards, and this program helps make sure communities are actually doing that in practice. CAP SSSE uses a state-level grant approach to support flood loss reduction by building day-to-day capability in both states and local jurisdictions. It does this primarily by paying for state staff and related efforts that deliver technical assistance to participating communities and by supporting the review of community performance so problems can be identified and corrected before they lead to increased flood risk or noncompliance.
The program is offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement, meaning FEMA expects ongoing involvement and coordination with the awardees rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The funding activity is described as state floodplain management technical assistance, which reflects the program's focus on practical implementation support: helping communities understand and apply NFIP requirements, improve local floodplain management practices, and maintain compliance with federal standards tied to eligibility for flood insurance. A central purpose is to supplement FEMA Regional capacity by making state personnel available to assist with technical assistance, monitoring, evaluation, and follow-up corrective actions related to local floodplain management performance.
Eligibility is limited to state governments, consistent with the program's structure as a state partnering agreement. The underlying legal and regulatory basis comes from the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 and FEMA regulations, including 44 CFR Part 60.3, which sets minimum floodplain management criteria that communities must meet to participate in the NFIP. The announcement also points to 44 CFR 60.25, which recognizes that governors can designate a State Coordinating Agency to lead and coordinate NFIP-related flood loss reduction activities. The program leverages the fact that state officials often have a strong understanding of state authorities, how state requirements connect with local ordinances and codes, and how related state programs can support floodplain management, making them effective partners for delivering assistance to local communities.
The opportunity lists an expected 52 awards with an estimated total funding amount of $10,000,000, indicating broad national coverage across states and eligible jurisdictions. It also carries a cost sharing or matching requirement, so states should expect to contribute some level of non-federal support consistent with the award conditions. The CFDA number associated with the program is 97.023. 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 application submission. The opportunity is associated with FEMA Region 8 in the announcement, and the Grants.gov listing is provided as the main source for full details and application materials.
