Opportunity Summary:
The Community Assistance Program State Support Services Element (CAP SSSE) is a FEMA grant program designed to strengthen how states support local communities that participate in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Its central goal is flood loss reduction, and it does that by giving states funding to provide hands-on technical assistance to NFIP communities and to review how well those communities are carrying out NFIP floodplain management responsibilities. In practical terms, the program is meant to build and maintain floodplain management expertise at both the state and local level so communities can better adopt, administer, and enforce floodplain management measures that reduce future flood damage.
This opportunity is a discretionary grant (Funding Opportunity Number DHS FEMA 08 CAPSSSE 023 005) listed under CFDA 97.023. Funding is awarded through FEMA Regional Offices in coordination with FEMA Headquarters, using a state grant agreement as the main administrative and funding vehicle. Eligibility is aimed at states, with the work typically led by the Governor-designated State Coordinating Agency identified under 44 CFR 60.25. That state coordinating entity is expected to be the organization best positioned to carry out NFIP flood loss reduction activities, coordinate assistance, and serve as FEMA's primary state-level partner for this program.
The work supported under CAP SSSE focuses on two connected functions: first, states provide technical assistance to NFIP participating communities, which can include guidance on floodplain management standards, ordinance administration, permitting practices, map and data use, and general compliance support. Second, states evaluate community performance in implementing NFIP floodplain management activities. These evaluations are meant to confirm whether communities are meeting program expectations and to identify gaps that could increase flood risk or lead to NFIP compliance issues. By paying for this kind of state-to-local support and oversight, FEMA uses CAP SSSE to improve consistency, capability, and effectiveness across NFIP communities.
A key condition of the program is cost sharing. Although one field in the source data lists "CostSharingOrMatchingRequirement: No," the program description explicitly states that there is a 25 percent non-federal match requirement for all states receiving CAP SSSE funds. In other words, states must contribute non-federal resources equal to 25 percent of the federal award amount (or as defined in the grant terms) to support the funded activities. This match requirement is an important budget and planning factor for any state expecting to participate.
In terms of funding continuity, the announcement indicates that CAP SSSE is structured as an ongoing program rather than a one-time initiative. As long as CAP SSSE continues and a state maintains the necessary skill capability and meets performance goals, the state should generally expect to receive funding. At the same time, the notice emphasizes that year-to-year funding levels are not guaranteed and may change based on the state’s needs, demonstrated capability, performance, FEMA priorities, and the overall availability of funds. That means continued participation is tied both to program continuation at the federal level and to a state showing it can deliver results and maintain capacity.
Administrative details included in the announcement show it 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 award floor is listed as 0, which typically signals that awards can vary widely and that minimum award amounts are not set in the notice.
