Opportunity Summary:
The Community Assistance Program State Support Services Element (CAP SSSE) is a FEMA discretionary grant program designed to strengthen how states support local communities that participate in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Its core purpose is to help make sure NFIP communities are actually meeting the program's flood loss reduction goals, not just on paper but through day-to-day floodplain management practices that reduce risk and damage over time. CAP SSSE does this by paying for state-level work that provides technical assistance to communities and evaluates whether communities are properly carrying out NFIP floodplain management requirements, with a broader aim of building long-term floodplain management expertise and capability at both the community and state levels.
Funding is awarded through FEMA Regional Offices in coordination with FEMA Headquarters, and it is provided to eligible states through a state grant agreement that FEMA uses as its single administrative mechanism for delivering federal financial assistance. The program relies on each state's Governor-designated State Coordinating Agency, established under 44 CFR 60.25, which is the entity FEMA recognizes as best positioned to carry out NFIP flood loss reduction activities within that state. In other words, while the program ultimately supports local community performance, the actual applicant and recipient is the state (through its designated coordinating agency), and the state then uses the funds to support and oversee NFIP-related floodplain management work across participating communities.
A key condition of CAP SSSE funding is cost sharing: there is a 25 percent non-federal match requirement for all states receiving CAP SSSE funds. This means states must contribute their own non-federal resources to cover at least one-quarter of the total project cost, with FEMA funding covering the remainder. The notice also indicates that funding is expected to be relatively consistent year to year so long as the program continues and the state maintains the necessary capability and meets performance goals. At the same time, it makes clear that annual funding levels are not guaranteed to be identical because allocations can change based on a mix of factors such as the state's needs, demonstrated capability, performance results, FEMA priorities, and overall availability of federal funds.
In the published opportunity record, the program is listed under CFDA 97.023 (Community Assistance Program State Support Services Element), and it is categorized as a grant under a discretionary funding opportunity. The notice associated with this record was posted in December 2007 with application closing dates in early 2008, and the opportunity is now archived, which mainly matters for historical reference rather than current application timing. The awarding office noted in the record is FEMA Region 4, and a grants specialist contact was provided for applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the Community Assistance Program State Support Services Element (CAP SSSE)?
CAP SSSE is a FEMA discretionary grant program that funds state-level work to strengthen how states support local communities participating in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The focus is on improving real-world, day-to-day floodplain management practices so communities reduce flood risk and flood damages over time.
What is the main purpose of CAP SSSE funding?
The program exists to help ensure NFIP participating communities are meeting NFIP flood loss reduction goals in practice, not just in documentation. CAP SSSE supports activities that improve compliance with NFIP floodplain management requirements and build long-term floodplain management capability at both the state and community levels.
Who is the intended beneficiary of the program?
While the work ultimately supports local NFIP communities, the funding is awarded to states. The state uses the funds to support and oversee NFIP-related floodplain management work across participating communities.
Who applies for and receives CAP SSSE funds?
The applicant and recipient is the state, acting through its Governor-designated State Coordinating Agency. FEMA recognizes this agency (established under 44 CFR 60.25) as best positioned to carry out NFIP flood loss reduction activities within the state.
What is the Governor-designated State Coordinating Agency and why does it matter?
It is the state entity designated by the Governor under 44 CFR 60.25 that FEMA uses as the primary, recognized organization for carrying out NFIP flood loss reduction activities in that state. CAP SSSE relies on this agency to deliver the state-level technical assistance and community evaluation functions supported by the grant.
What kinds of activities does CAP SSSE pay for?
Based on the opportunity description, CAP SSSE pays for state-level work that (1) provides technical assistance to NFIP communities and (2) evaluates whether communities are properly carrying out NFIP floodplain management requirements. The broader aim is to build long-term expertise and capability.
How are awards administered and delivered?
Funding is awarded through FEMA Regional Offices in coordination with FEMA Headquarters. Funds are provided to eligible states through a state grant agreement, which FEMA uses as its single administrative mechanism for delivering federal financial assistance under this program.
Is there a cost share or match requirement?
Yes. CAP SSSE requires a 25 percent non-federal match for all states receiving CAP SSSE funds. This means the state must contribute non-federal resources equal to at least one-quarter of the total project cost, with FEMA funding covering the remainder.
Does FEMA funding remain the same every year?
The notice indicates funding is expected to be relatively consistent year to year as long as the program continues and the state maintains necessary capability and meets performance goals. However, annual funding levels are not guaranteed to be identical because allocations may change based on factors such as state needs, demonstrated capability, performance results, FEMA priorities, and overall availability of federal funds.
What factors can affect a state's allocation from year to year?
The opportunity description lists several factors that can influence annual allocations: the state's needs, demonstrated capability, performance results, FEMA priorities, and the overall availability of federal funds.
Is CAP SSSE a discretionary grant or a formula grant?
The opportunity record categorizes CAP SSSE as a grant under a discretionary funding opportunity.
What is the CFDA number associated with this program?
The opportunity record lists the program under CFDA 97.023, titled "Community Assistance Program State Support Services Element."
Is this opportunity still open for applications?
The record described here is archived. The notice tied to this record was posted in December 2007 with application closing dates in early 2008, so the timing in this specific listing is primarily useful for historical reference rather than current application planning.

What should an applicant do if they cannot access the full announcement electronically?
The opportunity record notes that a grants specialist contact was provided for applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically.

It supports technical assistance and evaluations intended to verify communities are carrying out requirements appropriately.
What is the program trying to build over the long term?
The program description emphasizes building long-term floodplain management expertise and capability at both the community level and the state level.
