- 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 FY 15 Community Assistance Program - State Support Services Element (CAP SSSE) - Region 6 grant opportunity is a FEMA-funded program (CFDA 97.023) that supports state governments in helping local communities meet their responsibilities under the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The core purpose is to strengthen floodplain management at the community level by funding state staff and capabilities that can deliver hands-on technical assistance, review how well communities are implementing NFIP requirements, and support follow-up actions when problems are identified. In practical terms, the program is meant to help communities adopt, administer, and enforce floodplain management measures that meet or exceed the minimum standards in federal regulations, especially those tied to 44 CFR Part 60.3.
This opportunity was released as a continuation award and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which typically signals substantial federal involvement in how the work is carried out (for example, FEMA regional coordination, required reporting, alignment with regional priorities, and close collaboration on work plans). The funding activity is described as state floodplain management technical assistance, reflecting the program focus on implementation support rather than construction or major capital projects.
Eligibility is limited to state governments. The legal and policy basis is grounded in the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, which restricts FEMA from making flood insurance available in a community unless that community adopts and enforces adequate floodplain management measures. The Act also directs FEMA to work closely with states and communities and provide technical assistance as needed. Under 44 CFR 60.25, governors designate a State Coordinating Agency to carry out NFIP-related flood loss reduction activities. CAP SSSE is designed to leverage that state role by making state personnel available to supplement FEMA Regions, helping NFIP-participating communities understand requirements, improve ordinance administration, and address compliance or performance issues.
The work supported under CAP SSSE generally includes providing direct technical assistance to NFIP communities (such as guidance on floodplain management ordinances, building standards in special flood hazard areas, permitting and enforcement practices, and interpretation of flood maps and NFIP rules). It also includes monitoring and evaluation activities, meaning the state helps review how communities are performing their floodplain management responsibilities and assists FEMA in identifying deficiencies and pursuing corrective actions when needed. A key rationale emphasized in the announcement is that state officials are often especially effective messengers and problem-solvers because they understand local governance, state enabling authorities, and how state programs intersect with local ordinances and codes.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the opportunity number is DHS-15-MT-023-006-99 and it was posted May 1, 2015, with an application deadline of June 15, 2015 (archived July 15, 2015). FEMA estimated total funding at $10.4 million and anticipated up to 52 awards. The notice indicates there is a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning states should expect to contribute a non-federal share consistent with program rules and their cooperative agreement terms. The listing shows award ceiling and floor as $0, which usually indicates that award amounts are determined through allocation or negotiated work plans rather than a fixed minimum or maximum published in the synopsis.
The administering entity for this particular listing is FEMA Region 6. For applicant support or access issues related to the full announcement, the contact listed is Bret Gates (Bret.Gates@dhs.gov, 202-646-4133).
