- Eligible applicants include: State governments.
- 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 grant opportunity designed to strengthen how National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) communities carry out floodplain management. The central aim is flood loss reduction: making sure participating communities are not only enrolled in the NFIP, but are consistently meeting (and ideally improving upon) the floodplain management standards that underpin eligibility for federal flood insurance. CAP SSSE does this by funding states so they can deliver hands-on technical assistance to local governments and also review, monitor, and evaluate how well communities are implementing NFIP requirements in day-to-day practice. Over time, the program is meant to build deeper floodplain management expertise at both the community level and within state agencies, so that compliance and risk reduction become more routine, consistent, and effective.
The mechanism for delivering this support is a state grant partnership in which state personnel help supplement FEMA Regional staff. In practical terms, this means states use grant-funded capacity to work directly with NFIP communities on floodplain management activities, provide guidance on ordinances and administrative procedures, and help identify and address gaps that could undermine compliance. This is tied to the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, which generally bars FEMA from providing flood insurance in a community unless that community adopts and enforces floodplain management measures that meet or exceed the minimum criteria in 44 CFR Part 60.3. CAP SSSE aligns with the Act's direction that FEMA should work closely with states and communities and provide needed technical assistance. It also reflects the framework in 44 CFR 60.25, under which governors designate a State Coordinating Agency to carry out NFIP flood loss reduction activities. The announcement highlights why states are well positioned for this role: they typically understand state-level legal authorities, how those authorities interact with local ordinances and building controls, and how related state programs can support stronger floodplain management.
This particular opportunity was issued as a discretionary cooperative agreement under FEMA (listed with Agency Name Region 1) and categorized as state floodplain management technical assistance. The Funding Opportunity Number is DHS-11-MT-023-001-99, and the CFDA listing is 97.023 (Community Assistance Program State Support Services Element). The estimated total funding amount was $4,500,000, with an expected six awards. The notice indicates cost sharing or matching is required. Award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0 in the posting, which typically signals that applicants must refer to the full announcement or program guidance for the actual budgeting constraints and award sizing rather than relying on the summary fields.
Eligibility is limited to state governments, consistent with the program design that relies on state coordinating agencies designated by governors to support NFIP implementation. The posting date and creation date were February 3, 2011. The original and current closing date were March 4, 2011, with a note that a 30-day grace period would be allowed for submitting applications. The archive date was April 3, 2011. For further details, the notice points applicants to FEMA.gov and provides a FEMA Call Center contact number (866-927-5646) for assistance accessing the full announcement.
