Opportunity Summary:
The Community Assistance Program State Support Services Element (CAP SSSE) is a FEMA discretionary grant program designed to strengthen how states help local communities carry out floodplain management responsibilities under the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The central aim is flood loss reduction: FEMA uses this program to fund state-level support that improves community compliance with NFIP requirements, boosts local capability to manage flood hazards, and ultimately reduces future flood damage. CAP SSSE does this by paying for states to deliver technical assistance to participating NFIP communities and to assess how well those communities are implementing NFIP floodplain management activities. In practice, this often means helping communities understand and apply NFIP rules, improve floodplain ordinance administration, and correct issues identified through reviews, all while building long-term floodplain management expertise at both the state and local level.
Funding is awarded through FEMA Regional Offices in coordination with FEMA Headquarters, using a grant agreement as the primary administrative and financial mechanism for delivering federal assistance to states. Eligibility is tied to states, with the governor-designated State Coordinating Agency (as provided under 44 CFR 60.25) serving as the entity responsible for carrying out NFIP flood loss reduction activities and managing the grant. While the listing shows “Eligible Applicants: Others,” the eligibility clarification makes clear that FEMA awards funding to eligible states via their designated coordinating agencies, rather than to local governments or private organizations directly.
A key condition of CAP SSSE funding is a cost share requirement: every state receiving CAP SSSE funds must provide a 25 percent non-federal match. Even though the data field indicates “CostSharingOrMatchingRequirement: No,” the program description explicitly states the 25 percent non-federal match applies to all participating states, so applicants should plan budgets assuming a required state/local/other non-federal contribution.
The program is structured as continuing support rather than a one-time opportunity. As long as CAP SSSE remains active and a state maintains the needed capability and meets FEMA performance goals, the state should generally expect to receive funding. That said, annual funding levels are not guaranteed at a fixed amount and can change year to year based on state needs, demonstrated capability, performance outcomes, FEMA priorities, and the availability of appropriated funds. The award floor is listed as $0, signaling that awards can vary widely and that funding is not expressed here as a set minimum per award.
For reference and tracking, the opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number DHS FEMA 08 CAPSSSE 023 007, and it aligns with CFDA number 97.023 (Community Assistance Program State Support Services Element). The posting timeline in the source indicates it was posted December 7, 2007, created February 22, 2008, with an original closing date of January 30, 2008 and a revised closing date of March 28, 2008, and it was archived April 27, 2008.
