Opportunity Summary:
The Community Assistance Program State Support Services Element (CAP SSSE) is a FEMA grant program that supports state-level work to strengthen how communities carry out floodplain management under the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The core purpose is flood loss reduction: CAP SSSE funds help states provide technical assistance to participating NFIP communities and review how well those communities are implementing NFIP requirements and related floodplain management activities. In practice, the program is designed to build and maintain both community and state expertise so that local floodplain management programs are consistent, effective, and improving over time.
This opportunity is discretionary and uses a grant as the funding instrument. The program is listed under CFDA 97.023. Funding is awarded through FEMA Regional Offices in coordination with FEMA Headquarters. Eligibility is limited to states, and the mechanism FEMA uses is a grant agreement that serves as the primary administrative and funding vehicle for delivering federal financial assistance to a state. The announcement also references 44 CFR 60.25, which explains that each Governor designates a State Coordinating Agency to carry out NFIP-related flood loss reduction activities; that designated agency is typically the entity that implements CAP SSSE work on the state side.
A key condition of CAP SSSE is cost sharing. States that receive CAP SSSE funds must provide a 25 percent non-federal match. While the source text includes a field that says "CostSharingOrMatchingRequirement: No," the narrative description for the opportunity explicitly states that a 25 percent non-federal match applies to all states receiving CAP SSSE funds, so applicants should treat cost share as required and plan budgets accordingly.
In terms of expectations and continuity, the program is described as relatively stable year to year as long as CAP SSSE remains funded and active. If a state maintains appropriate capability (staff skills and program capacity) and meets FEMA performance goals, the state should generally expect to continue receiving funding. At the same time, the announcement makes clear that annual award amounts can change. Funding levels may vary based on state needs, demonstrated capability and performance, FEMA priorities, and overall availability of funds in a given year, so continued participation does not guarantee the same dollar level each cycle.
Administrative details from the posting indicate it was posted December 7, 2007, created February 22, 2008, with an original closing date of January 30, 2008, and a current closing date of March 28, 2008 (archived April 27, 2008). The award floor is listed as 0, meaning there is no stated minimum award amount in the announcement. The issuing/handling office referenced is FEMA Region 2. For access issues or assistance, the listed point of contact is Bianca Costa, Grants Specialist, at 292.786.9503.
