- The National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 prohibits the Administrator 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, skills and familiarity of floodplain management 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 cooperative agreement opportunity that funds state-level floodplain management support tied to the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). It is built around a core requirement of the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968: FEMA cannot make flood insurance available in a community unless that community adopts and enforces floodplain management measures that meet or exceed the minimum standards in 44 CFR Part 60.3. In practice, those measures typically show up as local floodplain management ordinances, building codes, and zoning provisions that control how development occurs in flood-prone areas. Because the NFIP depends on consistent local enforcement of these standards, the program also reflects the Act's direction that FEMA provide technical assistance to states and participating communities.
CAP SSSE specifically supports a state partnering approach where designated state personnel help FEMA Regional offices deliver hands-on technical assistance to NFIP communities. The emphasis is on strengthening local capacity to administer and enforce floodplain management responsibilities, and on ensuring communities remain compliant with NFIP requirements. This includes activities such as monitoring and evaluating community floodplain management programs, identifying gaps in ordinance language or enforcement practices, and helping communities pursue and implement corrective actions when issues are found. In other words, the program is designed to keep communities eligible for NFIP flood insurance by improving how they apply and maintain the required floodplain rules over time.
A key structural feature of CAP SSSE is the role of the state coordinating agency. Under 44 CFR 60.25, each Governor may designate a state coordinating agency that is best positioned to carry out flood loss reduction activities under the NFIP. The grant opportunity relies on that state-level structure because state officials often have practical advantages in this space: they understand how state authorities interact with local ordinances and permitting, they are familiar with state building and environmental programs that overlap with floodplain management, and they can provide consistent, regionally informed support to many local jurisdictions. This makes states effective partners for FEMA Regions in delivering outreach, guidance, training, community visits, and compliance assistance.
