- The Region 6 in the other (see text field entitled explanation of other category of funding activity for clarification) sector is offering a public funding opportunity titled "Community Assistance Program State Support Services Element (CAP SSSE)" and is now available to receive applicants.
- 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 local communities carry out floodplain management requirements under the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Its core aim is to reduce flood losses by making sure NFIP-participating communities are not just enrolled on paper, but are actively meeting and sustaining the floodplain management standards that are required to remain eligible for federal flood insurance. The program works through state governments as the primary grantees, using a state-level grant mechanism to expand the day-to-day technical support and oversight available to cities, towns, counties, and other participating jurisdictions.
In practical terms, CAP SSSE funds states to do two main things. First, it supports technical assistance to NFIP communities, such as helping local officials understand and apply FEMA floodplain rules, interpret Flood Insurance Rate Maps, administer permitting in Special Flood Hazard Areas, and apply standards for new construction and substantial improvements. Second, it supports evaluation of community performance, meaning states help review whether communities are properly implementing NFIP floodplain management activities and, when problems are found, help guide communities toward corrective actions. The broader intent is capacity-building: improving both community and state expertise so that floodplain management becomes more consistent, defensible, and effective over time rather than being handled only when a disaster happens.
The legal and policy rationale is rooted in the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, which bars FEMA from offering flood insurance in a community unless that community adopts and enforces floodplain management measures that meet or exceed the minimum NFIP criteria in 44 CFR Part 60.3. Those measures can be adopted through local floodplain ordinances, building codes, zoning rules, or similar enforceable provisions. The Act also directs FEMA to work closely with states and communities and to provide needed technical assistance. CAP SSSE is one of the ways FEMA operationalizes that direction by partnering with states so state personnel can assist and supplement FEMA Regional offices. This state role is reinforced by 44 CFR 60.25, under which governors designate a State Coordinating Agency to lead or coordinate flood loss reduction activities tied to the NFIP. The program notes that state officials are often well-positioned to deliver these services because they understand how local ordinances interact with state authorities and related state programs.
From an administrative standpoint, this opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 13 MT 023 006 99) was offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement under CFDA 97.023. The funding activity is described as state floodplain management technical assistance. FEMA anticipated up to 50 awards with an estimated total program funding level of $5,000,000. Both the listed award ceiling and floor were shown as $0 in the source data, which typically indicates the announcement did not specify fixed per-award minimums or maximums in that particular summary field and that award sizes would be determined through program guidance, negotiations, or allocations. A cost sharing or matching requirement applied. Eligibility was limited to state governments, consistent with the program design of routing assistance through the state coordinating function rather than directly to local jurisdictions.
The posting and application window reflected a 2013 cycle: posted April 17, 2013, with an original and current closing date of May 31, 2013, and an archive date of September 30, 2013. The issuing office was FEMA Region 6. For applicants or interested parties who could not access the full announcement electronically, the contact listed was FEMA Systems and Business Support Branch via email at GMD Systems Branch@fema.gov.
