- This funding opportunity was created on Feb 3, 2011 and posted on Feb 3, 2011.

- 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 local floodplain management responsibilities. The central idea is simple: FEMA uses a state-administered grant mechanism to fund state-level floodplain management support so that participating communities are not just enrolled in the NFIP on paper, but are actually meeting the program's flood loss reduction goals in practice. This support focuses on improving day-to-day implementation of NFIP requirements, reducing future flood damages, and increasing both community and state capability and expertise in floodplain management over time.
CAP SSSE operates as a cooperative agreement, meaning it is not just a pass-through funding source but a partnership framework where FEMA and the state coordinate on objectives, oversight, and outcomes. The funded work is geared toward two core functions. First, it supports technical assistance to communities that participate in the NFIP, such as guidance on interpreting and applying NFIP minimum standards, ordinance or code issues, permitting questions, and other practical floodplain management tasks. Second, it supports evaluation of community performance, which includes monitoring, assessing compliance with NFIP floodplain management criteria, and helping pursue corrective actions when a community is not meeting its responsibilities. The broader purpose is capacity-building: developing stronger state and local expertise so that floodplain management programs become more consistent, effective, and resilient.
Eligibility is limited to state governments, reflecting the program structure that relies on a state coordinating role. The eligibility basis is rooted in the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 and related NFIP regulations. Under the Act, FEMA cannot provide flood insurance in a community unless that community adopts and enforces floodplain management measures meeting or exceeding the minimum criteria in 44 CFR Part 60.3, typically implemented through local floodplain ordinances, building codes, or zoning provisions. The Act also directs FEMA to work closely with states and communities and provide technical assistance as needed. CAP SSSE is one mechanism FEMA uses to meet that mandate, by supporting state personnel who can assist FEMA regional offices in delivering community-level technical support, monitoring local performance, and helping ensure deficiencies are addressed. The opportunity also recognizes that governors may designate a State Coordinating Agency under 44 CFR 60.25 to carry out NFIP flood loss reduction activities, and it emphasizes that state officials are often well positioned to help because they understand state authorities, how state and local rules interact, and how related state programs connect to floodplain management.
From an administrative standpoint, this opportunity is listed as discretionary funding, categorized under state floodplain management technical assistance. The funding opportunity number is DHS 11 MT 023 002 99, and the CFDA number is 97.023. The posting and creation date were February 3, 2011, with an original and current closing date of March 4, 2011, and a noted 30-day grace period for application submission. The estimated total funding amount was $4,500,000, with an expected three awards. The listing indicates cost sharing or matching is required, although specific match percentages and rules would typically be detailed in the full announcement or accompanying guidance. Award floor and ceiling amounts are shown as $0, which generally signals that the actual award sizes are determined through the application review and program budgeting process rather than set minimums or maximums in the summary listing.
The opportunity is associated with FEMA Region 2, and applicants or interested parties were directed to FEMA.gov for additional information. For access issues or assistance, the contact point provided is the FEMA Call Center at 866-927-5646 (FEMA GPD Call Center). Overall, CAP SSSE is best understood as a state-focused implementation and oversight support program intended to help NFIP communities maintain compliant, effective floodplain management programs that reduce flood risk and losses, with FEMA leveraging state capacity to extend technical assistance and performance evaluation across participating jurisdictions.
