- 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 help states strengthen how National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) communities manage floodplains and reduce flood losses. The central idea is to fund state-level capacity so states can provide hands-on technical assistance to local governments that participate in the NFIP, and also review and evaluate how well those communities are carrying out required floodplain management responsibilities. By improving training, oversight, and problem-solving support at the state level, the program aims to build longer-term floodplain management expertise both in individual communities and across the state, which ultimately supports safer development and reduces flood damage over time.
This opportunity was offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement, meaning FEMA and the awardee state are expected to work closely during performance rather than operating as a simple pass-through grant. The funding activity is described as state floodplain management technical assistance. FEMA anticipated making about five awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $4.5 million. The program is listed under CFDA 97.023. Cost sharing or matching is required, so recipient states must contribute a portion of project costs or resources consistent with the award terms.
Eligibility is limited to state governments, reflecting how the program is structured around a state partnering role with FEMA. The legal and policy basis ties directly to the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, which conditions the availability of flood insurance on whether a community adopts and enforces floodplain management measures that meet or exceed FEMA minimum criteria (referenced at 44 CFR Part 60.3). Those measures may be implemented through local floodplain ordinances, building codes, zoning provisions, or similar regulatory tools. The Act also directs FEMA to work closely with states and communities and provide technical assistance as needed. CAP SSSE is one of the mechanisms FEMA uses to meet that mandate by enabling state staff to support FEMA regional offices in delivering technical assistance and in monitoring, evaluating, and following up on corrective actions when local floodplain management performance falls short.
Operationally, CAP SSSE emphasizes the role of the state coordinating agency designated by the governor under 44 CFR 60.25. The program assumes that state officials can often be especially effective intermediaries because they understand state statutes and authorities, how those authorities connect to local ordinances, and how related state programs interact with floodplain management. Through this arrangement, states help communities interpret and apply NFIP requirements, improve administrative and enforcement practices, and address identified compliance issues. The goal is not just short-term compliance fixes, but building durable capability so communities consistently implement floodplain management activities aligned with NFIP flood loss reduction objectives.
