- 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 manage flood risk at the local level. The program works through State government partners rather than funding communities directly, using State-administered technical support to help ensure that participating communities are actually meeting the NFIP's flood loss reduction goals. In practical terms, CAP SSSE is meant to improve both compliance and capability by helping communities correctly adopt, interpret, and enforce floodplain management requirements, while also building long-term expertise within State floodplain management programs.
At its core, CAP SSSE is tied to the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, which sets the basic deal behind NFIP participation: FEMA cannot provide flood insurance in a community unless that community adopts and enforces floodplain management measures that meet or exceed the minimum standards in 44 CFR Part 60.3. Those measures can be implemented through local floodplain ordinances, building codes, zoning rules, or similar authorities. Because FEMA is also directed by law to work closely with States and communities and provide technical assistance as needed, CAP SSSE functions as one of the main mechanisms for delivering that assistance in a structured, State-led way. States often have an advantage in this work because they understand how State-level authorities interact with local ordinances and they can connect NFIP requirements to related State programs that influence land use, construction, and hazard mitigation.
The grant is structured as a discretionary cooperative agreement, which generally signals that FEMA expects an active partnership role rather than a hands-off reimbursement relationship. The funding activity is described as State floodplain management technical assistance, and the program is explicitly intended to make State personnel available to assist and supplement FEMA Regional offices. This includes providing technical assistance to NFIP communities, monitoring and evaluating community performance in carrying out floodplain management responsibilities, and supporting the pursuit of corrective actions when problems are identified. The State role is also grounded in 44 CFR 60.25, under which Governors designate a State Coordinating Agency to lead or coordinate NFIP-related flood loss reduction activities, positioning that agency as the natural applicant and implementer for CAP SSSE work.
Eligibility is limited to State governments, reflecting the program's purpose of strengthening State capacity and using States as an extension of FEMA's support and oversight capabilities. The opportunity includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning States must contribute some non-federal share under the terms of the award. The catalog listing associated with the program is CFDA 97.023 (Community Assistance Program State Support Services Element), and the awarding office listed in the source information is FEMA Region 3, indicating regional administration and oversight for the awards under this announcement.
From a funding standpoint, the opportunity anticipated around six awards with an estimated total program funding level of $4,500,000. The posted date was February 3, 2011, with an application closing date of March 4, 2011, and an additional 30-day grace period allowed for submission. The award ceiling and floor are listed as $0, which typically indicates that award amounts are determined based on program priorities, applicant plans, and available funds rather than fixed minimums or maximums in the public synopsis.
For applicants or interested parties seeking the official announcement or supporting materials, the opportunity references FEMA.gov as an additional information source and provides the FEMA Call Center at 866-927-5646 for assistance accessing the full announcement.
