Opportunity Summary:
The Community Assistance Program State Support Services Element (CAP SSSE) is a discretionary FEMA grant (CFDA 97.023) designed to help States strengthen and oversee floodplain management in communities that participate in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The core purpose is flood loss reduction: CAP SSSE provides funding so States can deliver technical assistance to NFIP communities and evaluate how well those communities are carrying out NFIP floodplain management requirements. In practice, this means building long-term State and local expertise and capability so communities can better manage flood risk, apply NFIP standards correctly, and ultimately reduce damage from flooding.
Funding is awarded through FEMA Regional Offices working in coordination with FEMA Headquarters, using a State grant agreement as the administrative and funding mechanism. Eligibility is tied to the State structure FEMA recognizes for NFIP-related work. Under 44 CFR 60.25, each Governor designates a State Coordinating Agency that is considered best positioned to carry out NFIP flood loss reduction activities, and that designated entity is the vehicle through which the State receives and administers CAP SSSE support.
A key requirement is cost sharing: every State receiving CAP SSSE funds must provide a 25 percent non-federal match. While the program is framed as ongoing support, continued funding is performance-based and capability-based. If CAP SSSE continues as a program and a State maintains the required skill capability and meets performance goals, the expectation is that the State will continue to receive funding. At the same time, the actual amount a State receives can change from year to year based on demonstrated needs, the State’s capability and performance, FEMA priorities, and overall availability of federal funds. There is no stated award floor in the posted information.
For timing and administrative context, the opportunity was posted December 7, 2007, created February 22, 2008, with an original closing date of January 30, 2008, later extended to March 28, 2008, and archived April 27, 2008. The listing identifies FEMA Region 1 and provides a point of contact for access issues: Bianca Costa, Grants Specialist, at 292.786.9503.
