- 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 program that funds state-level floodplain management support so communities participating in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) follow required floodplain management rules and, in turn, reduce flood losses over time. The basic idea is that FEMA works through states to strengthen local compliance and capability: states use the grant to provide hands-on technical assistance to NFIP communities, review how well local floodplain management measures are being implemented, and help address problems before they become persistent compliance issues. By building expertise at both the state and community level, the program is meant to improve the day-to-day administration of floodplain ordinances, codes, zoning provisions, and other measures that meet or exceed NFIP minimum standards.
This opportunity was offered as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement, meaning FEMA and the recipient state are expected to coordinate during performance rather than operating as a fully independent pass-through grant. The funding activity is described as state floodplain management technical assistance. The opportunity was posted February 3, 2011, and closed March 4, 2011, with a 30-day grace period for application submission. The estimated total funding available was $4.5 million, with an expected eight awards. The listing is associated with CFDA number 97.023. While the notice lists award ceiling and floor as $0, that generally indicates amounts are determined by FEMA’s allocation methodology and final selections rather than fixed per-award minimums or maximums published in the announcement.
Eligible applicants were state governments. The eligibility and purpose are rooted in the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, which ties the availability of federally backed flood insurance to a community adopting and enforcing floodplain management measures that meet minimum NFIP criteria (referenced in 44 CFR Part 60.3). The Act also directs FEMA to work closely with states and communities and to provide technical assistance as needed. CAP SSSE operationalizes that directive by using a state partnering approach: state personnel supplement FEMA Regional staff by assisting communities directly, monitoring and evaluating community performance, and helping pursue corrective actions when local floodplain management responsibilities are not being carried out adequately. The announcement also references 44 CFR 60.25, under which governors designate a State Coordinating Agency to lead NFIP-related flood loss reduction activities. FEMA emphasizes that states are often especially effective in this role because they understand state authorities and how those authorities interact with local ordinances and related state programs.
The opportunity is attributed to FEMA Region 4 in the announcement, with FEMA.gov provided as an additional information source. For access issues or support, the notice directs applicants to the FEMA Call Center at 866-927-5646 (FEMA GPD Call Center). Overall, CAP SSSE is best understood as capacity-building and compliance support for NFIP-participating communities, delivered through state agencies so that local floodplain management programs are implemented consistently and effectively, ultimately reducing flood risk and losses.
