- The National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 prohibits the Director from providing flood insurance in a community unless that community adopts and enforces floodplain management measures that meet or exceed minimum criteria in 44 CFR Part 60.3. These floodplain management measures can take the form of floodplain management ordinances, building codes, or zoning provisions. The Act also directs FEMA to work closely with and provide any necessary technical assistance to States and communities participating in the NFIP. CAP SSSE, through its State partnering agreement, is designed to make State personnel available to assist and supplement FEMA Regions in providing technical assistance to NFIP communities and in monitoring, evaluating, and pursuing corrective actions taken by communities in the performance of local floodplain management responsibilities. Under CFR 60.25, Governors have exercised their prerogative of designating a State Coordinating Agency that is best able to carry out the flood loss reduction activities of the NFIP. State officials can be particularly effective in delivering these services to communities because of their knowledge and familiarity with State governing authorities and how these interrelate with local floodplain management ordinances, as well as their knowledge of related State programs.

Opportunity Summary:
The Community Assistance Program State Support Services Element (CAP SSSE) is a FEMA discretionary grant offered through a cooperative agreement that funds state-level floodplain management support for communities participating in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Its central goal is to reduce flood losses by making sure NFIP-participating communities are not only enrolled on paper, but are actually carrying out the floodplain management responsibilities that come with NFIP participation. In practice, the program is designed to strengthen day-to-day floodplain management capability at both the community and state levels by paying for states to deliver hands-on technical assistance and to review how well local programs are being implemented.
The opportunity is grounded in the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, which ties a community's access to federal flood insurance to the adoption and enforcement of floodplain management measures that meet or exceed FEMA minimum requirements (commonly referenced under 44 CFR Part 60.3). Those measures are typically implemented through local ordinances, building codes, and zoning rules. The Act also directs FEMA to work closely with states and communities and to provide technical assistance where needed. CAP SSSE is one of the main ways FEMA operationalizes that direction: it supports states so they can assist FEMA Regional offices by working directly with communities on compliance, program quality, and corrective actions when problems are found.
A key feature of CAP SSSE is the state partnership structure. Governors designate a State Coordinating Agency under 44 CFR 60.25 to carry out NFIP flood loss reduction work, and CAP SSSE funding helps that agency provide services that are often more effective when delivered by state personnel. The source information emphasizes that state officials bring practical advantages: they tend to have strong familiarity with state authorities and how those interact with local floodplain rules, and they often understand how other state programs can be aligned with NFIP floodplain management. Through this arrangement, state staff can supplement FEMA Regions by helping communities interpret requirements, improve local floodplain management practices, and address deficiencies identified during monitoring and evaluation.
From an administrative standpoint, this grant opportunity was posted and created on November 6, 2009, with an original and current closing date of December 1, 2009, and an archive date of December 31, 2009. The funding opportunity number is DHS-10-FEMA-023-006, and the CFDA number listed is 97.023. FEMA anticipated 53 awards, consistent with providing support broadly across eligible state governments. The estimated total funding amount is $8.6 million. Both the award ceiling and award floor are listed as $0, which typically signals that individual award amounts vary by formula, workload, or negotiated scope rather than being constrained by a fixed minimum or maximum in the public synopsis. The listing also indicates a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning states should expect to contribute non-federal resources as part of participation.
Eligibility is limited to state governments. The grant is categorized under "Other," with the explanation clarifying the focus as "State Floodplain Management Technical Assistance." The sponsoring FEMA office identified in the announcement is Region 6. For access issues or questions, the point of contact provided is Rachel Sears at (202) 646-2977.
