Opportunity Summary:
The Community Assistance Program State Support Services Element (CAP SSSE) is a FEMA discretionary grant program (CFDA 97.023) designed to strengthen how states support local communities that participate in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Its core purpose is flood loss reduction: helping ensure that NFIP communities are actually carrying out effective floodplain management practices, meeting NFIP requirements, and improving their ability to reduce flood risk over time. CAP SSSE does this by providing funding to states so they can deliver hands-on technical assistance to communities and also evaluate how well those communities are performing in implementing NFIP floodplain management activities. In practice, the program is aimed at building long-term floodplain management expertise and capability at both the community and state level, rather than being a one-time project grant.
Funding is awarded through FEMA Regional Offices in coordination with FEMA Headquarters, using a state grant mechanism as the administrative vehicle for delivering federal financial assistance. States participate through the governor-designated State Coordinating Agency under 44 CFR 60.25, meaning each governor designates the agency considered best positioned to carry out NFIP flood loss reduction responsibilities. While the opportunity lists eligibility in a general way, the intent is that eligible applicants are states acting through their designated coordinating agency, with FEMA managing awards via a standard grant agreement process.
A key condition of this opportunity is the cost share requirement: every state receiving CAP SSSE funds must provide a 25 percent non-federal match. Although the listing also contains a field indicating no cost sharing or matching requirement, the narrative description explicitly states the 25 percent match applies to all participating states, so applicants should treat the match as a real program requirement and plan budgets accordingly. This match expectation matters because it affects how states structure staffing, travel, technical assistance efforts, community visits, training, and program management costs tied to NFIP support activities.
In terms of continuity, CAP SSSE is positioned as an ongoing capability-building program. The announcement indicates that, as long as CAP SSSE continues as a program and a state maintains the needed skill capability and meets performance goals, the state should generally expect to receive funding. That said, funding levels are not guaranteed year to year. Annual state award amounts may rise or fall based on changing needs, the state’s demonstrated capability and performance, FEMA priorities at the time, and the overall availability of federal funds. In other words, this is more like sustained support conditioned on performance and program priorities than a fixed formula allocation.
Administrative details in the notice show this particular announcement was posted December 7, 2007, created February 22, 2008, with an original closing date of January 30, 2008 and a later closing date of March 28, 2008, and it was archived April 27, 2008. The award floor is listed as $0, which typically signals that award sizes can vary widely and are not constrained by a minimum threshold in the public listing. For assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed contact is Bianca Costa, Grants Specialist, at 292.786.9503. The issuing office is identified as Region 6.

How does CAP SSSE achieve flood loss reduction in practice?
The program supports two major state functions: (1) providing hands-on technical assistance to NFIP communities and (2) evaluating how well those communities are performing in implementing NFIP floodplain management activities.
Is CAP SSSE meant to fund one-time projects?
No. The program is described as an ongoing capability-building effort aimed at building long-term floodplain management expertise and capability at both the community and state level, rather than acting as a one-time project grant.
Who is intended to apply for CAP SSSE funds?
The intent is that eligible applicants are states acting through the governor-designated State Coordinating Agency under 44 CFR 60.25. Each governor designates the agency considered best positioned to carry out NFIP flood loss reduction responsibilities.
