- The Region 10 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 that funds state-level floodplain management support for communities that participate in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The basic idea is to strengthen how NFIP communities carry out floodplain management requirements so that flood losses are reduced over time. CAP SSSE does this by paying for state personnel and state-led efforts that can provide hands-on technical assistance to local governments, review how well communities are implementing NFIP standards, and help correct issues before they become serious compliance problems. In practice, it is a way for FEMA to leverage state expertise and reach more communities by partnering with state coordinating agencies that already understand local conditions, state laws, and related state programs.
This opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS-13-MT-023-010-99) was offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement, meaning FEMA and the award recipient are expected to work closely during the period of performance rather than treating the award as a simple pass-through grant. The funding activity is categorized as state floodplain management technical assistance. FEMA anticipated making around 50 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $5,000,000. The listing is associated with CFDA 97.023 (Community Assistance Program - State Support Services Element). While the notice lists an award ceiling and floor as $0, that typically indicates the specific per-award amounts were not stated in the summary fields and would be defined through the full announcement, negotiations, or state work plans.
Eligible applicants are state governments. The eligibility rationale ties directly to the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, which limits FEMA's ability to provide flood insurance in a community unless that community adopts and enforces floodplain management measures meeting or exceeding the minimum criteria in 44 CFR Part 60.3. Because FEMA is also directed to work closely with states and communities and provide technical assistance, CAP SSSE is structured as a state partnering agreement that helps states supplement FEMA regional capacity. Governors designate a State Coordinating Agency under 44 CFR 60.25, and that designated agency is generally the entity positioned to carry out NFIP-related flood loss reduction activities under CAP SSSE. The program recognizes that state officials can be particularly effective because they understand the relationship between state authorities and local floodplain ordinances, and they often have visibility into other state programs that connect to hazard mitigation, building standards, land use, and water resources.
Programmatically, CAP SSSE supports two core functions: (1) providing technical assistance to NFIP communities and (2) monitoring and evaluating community performance, including pursuing or supporting corrective actions when communities are not fully meeting their floodplain management responsibilities. This can include helping communities interpret and apply NFIP minimum standards, improving local administration of floodplain permits, strengthening ordinance implementation, and building long-term capability at both the community and state levels. The emphasis is not only on compliance, but also on capacity building so communities can sustain stronger floodplain management practices over time.
The posting date for this opportunity was April 17, 2013, with an application closing date of May 31, 2013, and an archive date of September 30, 2013. The opportunity included a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were expected to contribute non-federal resources according to the terms spelled out in the full announcement. The issuing FEMA office listed in the notice is Region 10. For additional program background, the notice referenced FEMA program information online, and for technical problems accessing the announcement, the contact provided was FEMA's Systems and Business Support Branch (GMD Systems Branch@fema.gov).
