Opportunity Summary:
The Map Modernization Management Support Program (MMMS) is a FEMA grant opportunity offered under a cooperative agreement to help partners support FEMA's Flood Map Modernization effort through work that strengthens the program but does not directly produce a Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM). In practice, MMMS funding is meant for the "behind the scenes" support functions that make flood map modernization efforts run smoothly, such as administration, coordination, and other management-focused activities. FEMA notes that the specific support activities expected under MMMS are detailed in the program guidance issued each fiscal year, and applicants are expected to align their proposed work with those defined priorities.
A central requirement of participation is that an MMMS partner develop a business plan and then carry out the activities described in that plan. The plan (or an update to an existing plan) must clearly document the proposed activities and include the partner's explanation of how it will approach the work, along with a description of its capabilities to perform those activities. This structure signals that FEMA is looking for applicants that can demonstrate sustained, organized program support capacity, not just one-off tasks. FEMA also makes clear that eligible projects and initiatives may involve geospatial issues, but they do not have to; the key test is whether the work supports map modernization without being direct FIRM production.
The opportunity is listed as discretionary funding and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, meaning FEMA expects an ongoing level of involvement or partnership during the period of performance rather than a hands-off grant relationship. The funding activity category is identified as "Other," with the clarification that the activity is management support for the Map Modernization Program. The CFDA listing associated with the program is 97.070 (Map Modernization Management Support), and the announcement specifies that there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement.
Administratively, the announcement is identified as Funding Opportunity Number DHS 08 GPD 070 004, titled "Map Modernization Management Support Program." It was posted on February 25, 2008, created on June 13, 2008, and originally closed on March 28, 2008, with a revised closing date of July 31, 2008. The archive date is August 30, 2008. The sponsoring agency information references FEMA Region 4. Eligible applicants include federally recognized Native American tribal governments and other eligible entities as described in the additional eligibility information, including multi-jurisdictional entities. The point of contact listed for questions or difficulties accessing the full announcement is Bianca Costa, DHS/FEMA GPD Systems Branch Chief, reachable at bianca.costa@dhs.gov.
