Community Assistance Program - State Support Services Element (CAP-SSSE) - R9 | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Community Assistance Program - State Support Services Element (CAP-SSSE) - R9 is a federal grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Region 9, focused on strengthening how communities carry out floodplain management under the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The core purpose of this program is to provide funding to state governments so they can deliver technical assistance to NFIP-participating communities and assess how well those communities are implementing NFIP floodplain management requirements. In practical terms, the funding supports states as they help local jurisdictions understand and apply NFIP standards, improve local floodplain administration, and identify gaps or issues in community compliance and performance.

This opportunity is categorized as a discretionary grant and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which typically signals a more active federal role in coordination or oversight compared to a standard grant. The activity category is Disaster Prevention and Relief, reflecting the program's emphasis on reducing flood risk and improving preparedness through consistent, well-enforced floodplain management practices. The applicable CFDA number listed is 97.023. Eligibility is limited to state governments, meaning local governments, nonprofits, and private entities would generally not apply directly; instead, they benefit indirectly through state-led assistance and evaluation activities funded by the award.

Administrative details indicate the opportunity number is DHS 16 MT 023 009 99, and it was created and posted on February 3, 2016. The application deadline was April 15, 2016 (both the original and current closing dates match, suggesting no deadline extensions were posted). The listing notes an expected 52 awards, which implies broad distribution across multiple recipients or jurisdictions consistent with a nationwide or multi-state support model. The award ceiling is shown as 0, which usually indicates that a specific maximum dollar cap was not published in that field, or that award amounts vary and are determined through other guidance, allocations, or program formulas rather than a single stated ceiling in the public listing.

Overall, CAP-SSSE - R9 is designed to strengthen NFIP implementation at the community level by equipping states to act as hands-on partners: providing training and technical guidance to local floodplain administrators, helping communities interpret and apply NFIP requirements, and conducting performance evaluations that can drive corrective actions and program improvements. The end goal is better local compliance, more consistent floodplain management, and reduced flood-related losses over time.
