Opportunity Summary:
The Map Modernization Management Support (MMMS) Program is a FEMA Region 8 cooperative agreement funding opportunity designed 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 other words, the funding is aimed at the behind-the-scenes functions that keep flood mapping efforts organized, consistent, and moving forward, rather than paying for the actual technical deliverable of a new or revised flood map. The grant focuses on administrative and management support tasks identified in FEMA's MMMS program guidance for the applicable fiscal year, and it recognizes that some funded projects may involve geospatial work while others may be purely managerial, procedural, or coordination-based.
A key requirement of participation is that an MMMS partner must develop a business plan and then carry out the activities laid out in that plan. The business plan (or an update to an existing plan) needs to clearly document the specific activities the applicant intends to perform under MMMS and explain the partner's approach, role, and capabilities for delivering those activities. This makes the program more like a structured partnership than a simple reimbursement grant: FEMA is using a cooperative agreement, which typically implies ongoing collaboration and involvement between the awarding agency and the recipient during performance, with expectations for planning, reporting, and coordinated execution.
The opportunity is listed as discretionary funding and uses the cooperative agreement instrument type under CFDA 97.070 (Map Modernization Management Support). There is no cost share or matching requirement stated for applicants, which can lower the barrier for participation compared to programs that require non-federal contributions. The eligible applicants include state governments, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and multi-jurisdictional entities (with eligibility also noting "others" as described in the full announcement). Overall, the target audience is organizations positioned to provide cross-cutting management, coordination, and support capacity that helps FEMA advance flood map modernization outcomes even when the funded tasks are not the direct creation of a new map panel.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 08 GPD 070 008) was posted on February 25, 2008, with an original closing date of March 28, 2008, later extended to a current closing date of July 31, 2008, and an archive date of August 30, 2008. The program is attributed to FEMA Region 8. For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement, the listed contact is Bianca Costa, DHS/FEMA GPD Systems Branch Chief (bianca.costa@dhs.gov).
