- This funding opportunity was created on Apr 17, 2013 and posted on Apr 17, 2013.

- 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 help make sure communities that participate in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) are actually meeting the NFIP's flood loss reduction goals. The program works by providing funding to state governments so they can deliver hands-on technical assistance to local NFIP communities and also evaluate how well those communities are carrying out required floodplain management responsibilities. In practice, the idea is to strengthen both community-level and state-level capability in floodplain management by building expertise, improving implementation of NFIP standards, and identifying and correcting compliance gaps before they turn into larger problems.
This opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS-13-MT-023-007-99) is offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement, meaning FEMA expects to have an active partnership role with the award recipients rather than simply issuing funds and stepping away. The activity focus is described as state floodplain management technical assistance. The program reflects the structure of the NFIP, where participation in federal flood insurance is tied to a community adopting and enforcing minimum floodplain management measures. Under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, FEMA cannot provide flood insurance in a community unless that community adopts and enforces floodplain management measures that meet or exceed the minimum requirements in 44 CFR Part 60.3. Those measures are typically implemented through local legal tools such as floodplain management ordinances, building codes, and zoning provisions.
A central purpose of CAP SSSE is to extend FEMA's reach by leveraging state capacity. FEMA is directed to work closely with participating states and communities and provide technical assistance as needed, but day-to-day implementation of floodplain management happens locally and varies widely across jurisdictions. Through CAP SSSE, states help fill that gap by making qualified state personnel available to assist and supplement FEMA Regional offices. These state staff can provide technical guidance to communities on NFIP requirements, help interpret how federal rules interact with state authorities and programs, and support communities in improving local ordinances and administrative practices so they align with NFIP minimums or stronger state standards. The program also supports monitoring and evaluation of community performance, including following up on corrective actions when issues are found in how a community is administering its floodplain management responsibilities.
Eligibility is limited to state governments, consistent with the program's design as a state partnering mechanism. The opportunity notes that, under 44 CFR 60.25, governors designate a State Coordinating Agency to carry out NFIP-related flood loss reduction activities, and those agencies are typically the entities positioned to apply for and manage CAP SSSE funds. FEMA emphasizes that states are often especially effective intermediaries because they understand state governing frameworks, have established relationships with local governments, and can align NFIP implementation with related state programs that influence land use, construction, hazard mitigation, and environmental management.
From a funding standpoint, the announcement anticipated about 50 awards with an estimated total program funding level of $5,000,000. The listing shows award ceiling and floor as $0, which typically indicates that award amounts vary by allocation methodology or negotiated workplan rather than being constrained by a fixed published per-award range in the synopsis. The CFDA number associated with the program is 97.023. Cost sharing or matching is required, so applicants were expected to contribute non-federal share consistent with program rules and the specific cooperative agreement terms.
Administrative details in the announcement place it in 2013: it was posted April 17, 2013, with an application closing date of May 31, 2013, and an archive date of September 30, 2013. The issuing office is identified as FEMA Region 7. An additional information link is provided to FEMA's CAP SSSE webpage, and technical assistance for accessing the full announcement was routed through FEMA's Systems and Business Support Branch via the provided email contact.
