- 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 basic idea is to fund state-level floodplain management programs so they can provide hands-on technical support to cities, towns, and counties that participate in the NFIP, and also review how well those communities are following NFIP requirements. By investing in state expertise and capacity, the program aims to reduce flood losses over time by improving the quality and consistency of floodplain management at the local level.
This opportunity is offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement, meaning recipients work closely with FEMA rather than simply receiving funds with minimal federal involvement. The funding activity is categorized as state floodplain management technical assistance, which includes activities like advising communities on floodplain ordinances and standards, helping interpret and apply NFIP minimum criteria, supporting community floodplain management practices, and conducting performance-based monitoring or evaluations. A major emphasis is ensuring that participating communities are meeting or exceeding the minimum floodplain management criteria in 44 CFR Part 60.3, which is a legal prerequisite for a community to remain eligible for NFIP flood insurance under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968. In practical terms, the program supports the day-to-day work that helps communities adopt, administer, and enforce appropriate floodplain management measures through ordinances, building codes, and zoning provisions.
Eligible applicants are state governments, reflecting the NFIP structure in which governors typically designate a State Coordinating Agency under 44 CFR 60.25 to lead flood loss reduction efforts. FEMA’s rationale for channeling support through states is that state officials are often well positioned to help communities because they understand how state authorities, state programs, and local ordinances interact. Through CAP SSSE, state personnel can augment FEMA Regional offices by assisting with community outreach, providing guidance and training, monitoring community compliance, evaluating local program performance, and supporting corrective actions when problems are identified. The overall goal is not only to check compliance but to build durable state and community capability so that stronger floodplain management becomes routine rather than reactive.
The announcement reflects a Region 5 offering and anticipated making about six awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $450,000. While the listing shows award ceiling and floor as $0, this typically indicates that specific award sizes are not pre-set in the synopsis and are instead determined through the application review process and available funds. The opportunity includes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the state applicant is expected to contribute a portion of resources toward the project, consistent with the grant’s terms and FEMA requirements.
Key administrative details in the posting include the funding opportunity number DHS 11 MT 023 005 99 and CFDA number 97.023. The opportunity was posted February 3, 2011, with an application closing date of March 4, 2011, and a stated 30-day grace period allowed for submitting applications. The program listing was archived April 3, 2011. Applicants needing help accessing the full announcement were directed to FEMA resources, including FEMA.gov and the FEMA call center support lines.
FAQs - FEMA Community Assistance Program State Support Services Element (CAP SSSE)
What is the CAP SSSE grant opportunity?
The Community Assistance Program State Support Services Element (CAP SSSE) is a FEMA grant opportunity intended to strengthen how National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) communities carry out local floodplain management responsibilities. It focuses on funding state-level floodplain management programs so they can provide technical support and oversight to participating local governments (cities, towns, and counties) in the NFIP.
What is the main goal of CAP SSSE?
The program aims to reduce flood losses over time by improving the quality and consistency of floodplain management at the local level. It does this by investing in state expertise and capacity to support communities and review how well they are meeting NFIP requirements.
Who is the intended beneficiary of the funded work: states or local communities?
Funding is awarded to state governments, but the funded activities are designed to directly support and improve floodplain management in NFIP-participating local communities. The state acts as the primary delivery mechanism for hands-on assistance and monitoring.
Who is eligible to apply?

States use CAP SSSE support to bolster their floodplain management programs so they can provide hands-on technical assistance to NFIP communities, review community compliance with NFIP criteria, evaluate local program performance, and support corrective actions when needed.
