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 core purpose is flood loss reduction: helping ensure that NFIP-participating communities are properly carrying out floodplain management responsibilities and meeting NFIP requirements in ways that reduce future flood damages. CAP SSSE does this by providing funding to states so they can deliver hands-on technical assistance to communities, review and evaluate local program performance, and build long-term floodplain management expertise at both the state and local levels.
This opportunity is a discretionary grant (Funding Opportunity Number DHS FEMA 08 CAPSSSE 023 009) associated with CFDA 97.023. FEMA Regional Offices, working with FEMA Headquarters, make awards to eligible states, using a grant agreement as the standard administrative tool for delivering federal financial assistance. In practice, states participate through the governor-designated State Coordinating Agency, as contemplated under 44 CFR 60.25, meaning the governor selects the state agency best positioned to lead NFIP-related flood loss reduction activities and coordinate the work supported by CAP SSSE funding.
A key condition of the program is cost sharing. States receiving CAP SSSE funds are required to provide a 25 percent non-federal match. The program description also signals an expectation of ongoing support: if the CAP SSSE program continues and a state maintains the necessary capability and meets performance goals, the state should generally expect to receive funding in future years. That said, funding is not guaranteed at a fixed level. Annual state award amounts can change based on state needs, demonstrated capability, performance results, FEMA priorities, and overall availability of federal funds.
The funding activity focus is categorized as “Other,” because it centers on state-delivered technical assistance, evaluations, and capacity-building rather than a single narrow project type. The intended results are improved community compliance and stronger floodplain management practices, achieved through state-to-local support that helps communities implement NFIP floodplain management activities effectively. The announcement was posted December 7, 2007, created February 22, 2008, and had a closing date that was extended to March 28, 2008, with an archive date of April 27, 2008. For access issues with the full announcement, the listed contact was Bianca Costa, Grants Specialist, at 292.786.9503.
