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

- The number of recipients for this funding is limited to 4 candidate(s).
- 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 and reduce flood losses. The basic idea is that FEMA provides funds to states so state staff can work directly with participating local communities, helping them meet or exceed the NFIP minimum floodplain management standards required under federal law and regulation. By putting resources at the state level, the program aims to improve day-to-day implementation, raise technical capacity, and make sure local floodplain rules and practices are actually working the way the NFIP intends.
This funding opportunity is issued as a discretionary cooperative agreement (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 11 MT 023 007 99) under CFDA 97.023. The activity focus is state floodplain management technical assistance. FEMA expected to make about four awards under this announcement, with an estimated total funding amount of $4,500,000. The opportunity was posted February 3, 2011, with an application closing date of March 4, 2011, and it noted a 30-day grace period for application submission. The administering FEMA office listed is Region 7, and general program information is available through FEMA (www.fema.gov) with applicant support through the FEMA call centers.
Only state governments are eligible applicants. The eligibility and policy basis is tied to the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 and the NFIP regulatory requirements in 44 CFR Part 60.3, which condition the availability of federal flood insurance on whether a community adopts and enforces qualifying floodplain management measures. Those measures can be implemented through local ordinances, building codes, zoning provisions, or similar enforceable mechanisms. The Act also directs FEMA to work closely with states and communities and provide technical assistance as needed. CAP SSSE operationalizes that direction by using a state partnering agreement to position state personnel to assist FEMA regional offices. In practice, that means states help deliver technical assistance to local NFIP communities, monitor and evaluate local compliance and performance, and support follow-up and corrective actions when community floodplain management responsibilities are not being met.
A key structural element is the role of the Governor-designated State Coordinating Agency referenced in 44 CFR 60.25. Many states formally designate an agency to coordinate NFIP-related flood loss reduction activities, and CAP SSSE aligns funding and responsibilities through that state-level structure. FEMA highlights why states can be especially effective in this role: state officials typically understand how state authorities interact with local floodplain ordinances and have familiarity with related state programs that affect development, permitting, building standards, hazard mitigation, and environmental or water resource management. That broader perspective is intended to make technical assistance more practical and better integrated with what communities already do.
The program also includes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning award recipients are expected to contribute non-federal resources toward the overall project costs, consistent with the terms set in the cooperative agreement. Overall, CAP SSSE is best understood as a capacity-building and oversight support program: it funds states to help communities implement floodplain management requirements correctly, improve consistency across jurisdictions, and ultimately reduce flood losses by strengthening NFIP participation and compliance at the local level.

What is CAP SSSE?
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 and reduce flood losses.
