Opportunity Summary:
The Community Assistance Program - State Support Services Element (CAP-SSSE) - R5 is a discretionary federal grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Region 5, and delivered through a cooperative agreement. Its purpose is to provide funding to state governments so they can strengthen National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) participation and compliance at the local level. In practical terms, the program is designed to help states support communities that take part in the NFIP by offering technical assistance on floodplain management requirements, improving local capacity to administer floodplain regulations, and ensuring communities are properly implementing NFIP-related activities that reduce flood risk and support eligibility for flood insurance.
A core feature of this opportunity is performance evaluation. States use CAP-SSSE resources to review and assess how well participating communities are carrying out NFIP floodplain management responsibilities, such as adopting and enforcing floodplain ordinances, managing development in flood-prone areas, and maintaining standards that align with NFIP rules. These evaluations are intended to identify gaps, recommend corrective actions, and promote consistent, effective floodplain management statewide. Alongside oversight, the program emphasizes hands-on support: states can provide guidance, training, and problem-solving assistance to local officials, which can be especially important for smaller communities that may not have specialized floodplain management expertise.
The opportunity is categorized under Disaster Prevention and Relief (CFDA 97.023) and is limited to eligible applicants that are state governments. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates a more active federal role in the project compared to a standard grant, often involving collaboration, monitoring, or shared responsibilities in carrying out program objectives. The funding opportunity number is DHS 16 MT 023 005 99, and it was posted and created on February 3, 2016, with an application closing date of April 15, 2016 (both the original and current closing dates match).
The listing anticipates 52 awards, reflecting broad distribution across eligible jurisdictions, while the stated award ceiling is shown as 0, which typically signals that the ceiling was not specified in the summary data or is determined by other factors (such as allocations, negotiated workplans, or separate guidance) rather than a fixed maximum published in the notice. Overall, CAP-SSSE - R5 is aimed at improving the quality and consistency of NFIP implementation by funding state-level support services that help communities reduce flood risk, maintain program compliance, and improve floodplain management outcomes.
