Opportunity Summary:
The Community Assistance Program - State Support Services Element (CAP-SSSE) - R6 is a discretionary federal grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in FEMA Region 6. It is designed to strengthen how states support local floodplain management by funding state-led technical assistance for communities that participate in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The core purpose is twofold: helping communities understand and properly carry out NFIP requirements, and evaluating how well those communities are performing key floodplain management activities tied to the program.
This opportunity is offered as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the federal agency expects to have ongoing involvement with the recipient during the period of performance, rather than simply issuing funds with minimal interaction. The funding activity category is Disaster Prevention and Relief, and it is listed under CFDA number 97.023, which aligns it with FEMA flood hazard mapping and risk-related assistance. The eligible applicants are limited to state governments, reflecting the program's structure where states act as the primary support and oversight layer for local NFIP-participating jurisdictions.
From an operational standpoint, CAP-SSSE funding supports the practical work states do to keep local communities on track with NFIP standards. That can include providing guidance on floodplain development permitting, interpreting flood maps and flood hazard data, improving local ordinance administration, and helping communities address compliance issues before they become serious enough to trigger sanctions or probation under NFIP rules. A second major component is the evaluation of community performance, which typically involves reviewing local implementation practices, identifying gaps in compliance, and recommending corrective actions or improvements. In short, the program aims to improve consistency and effectiveness in floodplain management across participating communities by giving states resources to assist, monitor, and improve local program delivery.
Key administrative details from the notice include the funding opportunity number DHS 16 MT 023 006 99 and a posting and creation date of February 3, 2016. The application deadline (original and current) was April 15, 2016. The notice lists an expected 52 awards. The award ceiling is shown as 0, which usually indicates that a specific maximum amount per award was not stated in the summary fields of the posting, rather than implying no funds are available. Overall, CAP-SSSE - R6 is a state-focused FEMA support mechanism intended to improve NFIP implementation quality through hands-on technical assistance and structured community performance evaluations.
