- Interested and eligible applicants and submit their applications by referencing the CFDA number(s): 97.023 Community Assistance Program State Support Services Element (CAP SSSE).
- This funding opportunity was created on Apr 17, 2013 and posted on Apr 17, 2013.
- Applicants must submit their applications by May 31, 2013. (Agency may still review applications by suitable applicants for the remaining/unused allocated funding in 2026.)
- The funding agency has allocated a total of $5,000,000.00 to eligible and selected applicants.
- The number of recipients for this funding is limited to 50 candidate(s).
- Eligible applicants include: State governments.
- 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 grant opportunity designed to strengthen how communities carry out floodplain management under the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). In practical terms, it funds states so they can help local governments meet and maintain the NFIP standards that reduce flood losses. The core idea is that states, working in partnership with FEMA, can provide hands-on technical support to NFIP-participating communities and can also review how well those communities are implementing required floodplain management activities. By doing this consistently across communities, the program aims to build long-term floodplain management expertise and capacity at both the local and state levels.
This opportunity is offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement (Funding Opportunity Number DHS-13-MT-023-001-99) under CFDA 97.023. The activity focus is state floodplain management technical assistance, meaning the money is intended to support state-led work that supplements and extends FEMA regional efforts. FEMA’s intent is for state staff, operating under a state partnering agreement, to assist FEMA Regions by delivering technical assistance to communities and by monitoring, evaluating, and supporting corrective actions when communities fall short in carrying out their local floodplain management responsibilities.
Eligibility is limited to state governments, reflecting the NFIP structure and the role states play in coordinating floodplain management. The underlying legal framework comes from the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, which ties the availability of federal flood insurance in a community to that community adopting and enforcing floodplain management measures that meet or exceed minimum federal criteria, specifically the standards in 44 CFR Part 60.3. Communities meet these requirements through enforceable measures such as floodplain management ordinances, building codes, and zoning provisions. The Act also directs FEMA to work closely with and provide needed technical assistance to states and communities participating in the NFIP, and CAP SSSE is one of the main mechanisms FEMA uses to deliver that assistance through state partners.
The notice emphasizes that governors can designate a State Coordinating Agency under 44 CFR 60.25, and that this designated agency is often well-positioned to deliver NFIP support because it understands how state authorities and state programs interact with local ordinances and floodplain management practices. That familiarity can make state officials especially effective at translating NFIP requirements into workable local procedures, improving compliance, and strengthening prevention efforts that reduce flood damages over time.
For this specific announcement cycle, FEMA anticipated about 50 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $5,000,000. The listing shows cost sharing or matching is required, though it does not specify the percentage or calculation method in the excerpt provided. The posting date was April 17, 2013, with an application deadline of May 31, 2013, and the opportunity was later archived on September 30, 2013. The agency noted is FEMA Region 1, and applicants were directed to FEMA’s CAP SSSE program webpage for more information, with a contact email provided for assistance accessing the full announcement electronically.
