- 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 help make sure local governments that participate in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) are actually meeting the NFIP's flood loss reduction goals. It does this by funding state governments, through a cooperative agreement, to deliver hands-on technical assistance to NFIP communities and to review how well those communities are carrying out required floodplain management responsibilities. The broader intent is capacity-building: strengthening both community-level and state-level expertise so that floodplain management programs are implemented correctly, consistently, and effectively over time.
This opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 11 MT 023 009 99) is categorized as a discretionary award and uses a cooperative agreement funding instrument, which typically means FEMA expects substantial federal involvement during performance, such as coordination, guidance, and oversight. The funding activity is described as state floodplain management technical assistance. In practical terms, the grant supports state staff or state-designated coordinating agencies in assisting FEMA Regional offices by working directly with participating communities on NFIP implementation issues, helping communities understand and apply federal floodplain management standards, and identifying and addressing gaps in local compliance.
Eligibility is limited to state governments. The underlying legal and program basis is the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 and related NFIP regulations. The NFIP requires that, to be eligible for flood insurance, a community must adopt and enforce floodplain management measures that meet or exceed minimum federal criteria found in 44 CFR Part 60.3. These measures may be implemented through local floodplain ordinances, building codes, zoning rules, or similar authorities. The program also directs FEMA to work closely with states and communities and to provide technical assistance as needed. CAP SSSE is essentially a mechanism for FEMA to extend its reach by partnering with states that can provide on-the-ground support, particularly because states often have detailed knowledge of how local ordinances interact with state laws and state-run programs.
A key feature noted in the announcement is the role of the State Coordinating Agency designated by the Governor under 44 CFR 60.25. That designation recognizes that states can be especially effective in delivering NFIP support services because they understand state governing authorities and can align NFIP requirements with related state initiatives. Through CAP SSSE, state personnel are made available to supplement FEMA Regional resources in three main areas: providing technical assistance to communities, monitoring and evaluating community floodplain management performance, and helping pursue or support corrective actions when communities are not meeting their obligations.
The announcement lists an estimated total funding amount of $4,500,000 with an expected three awards. The CFDA number is 97.023 (Community Assistance Program State Support Services Element). There is a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning recipients must contribute non-federal resources in accordance with the award terms. The posting and creation date is February 3, 2011, with an original and current closing date of March 4, 2011, and a 30-day grace period allowed for application submission. The opportunity is associated with FEMA Region 9 as the issuing office. For more information, the announcement points to FEMA's website (www.fema.gov) and provides the FEMA Call Center contact number at 866-927-5646 for assistance accessing the full announcement.
