- 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 communities carry out floodplain management under the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The core goal is flood loss reduction: FEMA uses this program to fund state-level capacity so states can help local NFIP-participating communities meet, maintain, and improve compliance with NFIP floodplain management requirements. In practical terms, CAP SSSE supports states in delivering hands-on technical assistance to communities and in reviewing how well those communities are implementing floodplain management activities that reduce flood risk. The program is also meant to build long-term expertise at both the community and state levels, so that floodplain management knowledge, staffing, and enforcement capability improve over time rather than relying solely on federal support.
This particular opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 11 MT 023 010 98) is offered as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement, which generally means FEMA expects substantial involvement during the period of performance (for example, coordination on priorities, oversight, reporting, and alignment with NFIP objectives). The funding activity is described as state floodplain management technical assistance, and the program is associated with CFDA 97.023. The announcement lists an estimated total funding amount of $10,000,000 and anticipates 52 awards, reflecting a nationwide state-focused distribution rather than a small number of large awards.
Eligibility is limited to state governments, reflecting the structure of CAP SSSE as a state partnering mechanism. The eligibility rationale is tied directly to federal law and NFIP participation rules: under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, FEMA cannot provide flood insurance in a community unless that community adopts and enforces floodplain management measures meeting or exceeding the minimum NFIP criteria in 44 CFR Part 60.3. Those measures can be implemented through local 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. CAP SSSE operationalizes that directive by enabling states, through their designated State Coordinating Agency (as recognized in 44 CFR 60.25), to support FEMA regions in assisting communities, monitoring local program performance, evaluating compliance, and helping pursue corrective actions when communities fall short of their floodplain management responsibilities. The program emphasizes that state officials can be especially effective because they understand state authorities, how state and local rules interact, and how related state programs connect to floodplain management at the local level.
The announcement notes that cost sharing or matching is required, so applicants should expect to contribute non-federal resources consistent with the program rules and cooperative agreement terms. The posting date and creation date are both August 11, 2011, with an original and current closing date of August 26, 2011, and a stated 30-day grace period allowed for submission of applications. The opportunity is archived as of September 25, 2011. The agency name listed is Region 10, indicating the regional FEMA office associated with the listing, though the expected 52 awards and state-government eligibility reflect a broader program footprint.
For access and administrative support, the announcement directs applicants to Grants.gov for additional information and provides a FEMA contact for technical difficulty accessing the full announcement electronically: the Systems and Business Support Branch at GMD Systems Branch@fema.gov.
