- 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 discretionary grant offered as a cooperative agreement that supports stronger floodplain management in communities that participate in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The central goal is to reduce flood losses by helping ensure NFIP-participating communities are actually adopting and enforcing floodplain management measures that meet or exceed NFIP minimum requirements. CAP SSSE does this by providing funding to states so they can deliver hands-on technical assistance to local governments and also review how well communities are carrying out their NFIP responsibilities, with an emphasis on improving compliance, capability, and overall floodplain management expertise at both the state and local levels.
This opportunity is rooted in the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, which ties the availability of federally backed flood insurance to whether a community has adopted and enforces adequate floodplain management standards (referenced in 44 CFR Part 60.3). Because FEMA cannot provide NFIP flood insurance in a community that does not meet those requirements, FEMA also has a strong interest in helping communities succeed. CAP SSSE is one of the mechanisms FEMA uses to work closely with states and communities by extending FEMA's reach through a state partnership model. In practice, the program is designed to make qualified state personnel available to assist and supplement FEMA Regional offices in providing technical assistance to NFIP communities, monitoring and evaluating community floodplain management performance, and supporting follow-up and corrective actions when problems are identified.
The eligible applicants are state governments, specifically operating through the governor-designated State Coordinating Agency described under 44 CFR 60.25. The notice emphasizes why states are well-positioned for this role: state staff often have deep familiarity with state legal and administrative structures and how they connect to local ordinances, building codes, and zoning provisions, as well as knowledge of related state programs that affect floodplain management. That familiarity can make state-led technical assistance and oversight more practical and effective for communities, especially when translating federal NFIP standards into local implementation.
Administratively, the funding opportunity number is DHS 11 MT 023 008 99, and the CFDA listing is 97.023 for CAP SSSE. The posting and creation date were February 3, 2011, with an original and current closing date of March 4, 2011, and the announcement notes that a 30-day grace period is allowed for application submission. FEMA Region 8 is identified as the agency office associated with the announcement, and the activity category is described as State Floodplain Management Technical Assistance. The program anticipated making about six awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $4,500,000. Cost sharing or matching is required, meaning recipients would need to contribute non-federal resources in addition to the federal award under the terms set by the program.
