Opportunity Summary:
The Community Assistance Program - State Support Services Element (CAP SSSE) is a FEMA grant program designed to strengthen how states support communities that participate in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Its core purpose is to reduce flood losses by helping ensure NFIP communities are properly implementing floodplain management requirements. CAP SSSE does this by funding state-level work that provides hands-on technical assistance to local communities and evaluates how well those communities are carrying out NFIP-related floodplain management activities. Over time, the program is meant to build and maintain floodplain management expertise and capability at both the community and state level, so communities are better equipped to prevent future flood damage and remain compliant with NFIP standards.
This opportunity is a discretionary grant (not a formula entitlement), administered by FEMA Regional Offices in coordination with FEMA Headquarters. The funding mechanism is a grant agreement between FEMA and each eligible state, intended to provide a single, consistent way for FEMA to deliver federal financial assistance for these NFIP flood loss reduction activities. Eligibility is limited to states, with the relevant state entity typically being the "State Coordinating Agency" designated by the Governor under 44 CFR 60.25. In other words, the state office or agency officially appointed to lead NFIP floodplain management coordination is the entity that works with FEMA on CAP SSSE funding and carries out the program activities.
A key condition of the program is cost share: states receiving CAP SSSE funds must provide a 25 percent non-federal match. Although the listing in the source data also shows "CostSharingOrMatchingRequirement: No," the program description explicitly states that a 25 percent non-federal match applies to all states receiving CAP SSSE funds, which is the practical requirement applicants should plan for. The program also communicates an expectation of ongoing support: if CAP SSSE remains funded and a state continues to demonstrate the needed skills and capability while meeting performance goals, the state should generally expect to receive funding in future years. That said, the amount a state receives each year is not guaranteed and can fluctuate based on changing needs, demonstrated capability and performance, FEMA priorities, and overall availability of federal funds.
