Opportunity Summary:
The Map Modernization Management Support (MMMS) Program is a FEMA Region 9 discretionary funding opportunity offered as a cooperative agreement to help partners support FEMA's Flood Map Modernization effort through work that strengthens and sustains the program but does not directly produce a Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM). In practice, the program is meant to fund the behind-the-scenes activities that make flood mapping initiatives run effectively, such as administrative, program management, coordination, planning, and other support functions identified in FEMA's MMMS guidance for the applicable fiscal year. While flood mapping often involves geospatial data, FEMA makes clear that projects funded under this announcement may or may not be geospatial in nature, as long as they meaningfully support the broader Flood Map Modernization mission.
A key requirement of participating in MMMS is that applicants develop a business plan and then carry out the activities described in that plan. The business plan (or an update to an existing plan) must document the specific activities the partner will implement and should include the partner's approach, capacity, and capabilities for performing those activities. This emphasis on planning and execution reflects the program's intent: FEMA is not simply purchasing a single deliverable like a map product, but partnering with eligible entities to build sustained management and operational support that improves how the modernization effort is administered and delivered over time.
Eligibility is geared toward governmental and multi-jurisdictional entities that can take on regional or cross-boundary support roles. Eligible applicants include state governments, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and other eligible entities as specified, with explicit mention that multi-jurisdictional entities qualify. The assistance listing associated with this opportunity is CFDA 97.070 (Map Modernization Management Support). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for this opportunity, which can reduce barriers for eligible public entities that might otherwise struggle to provide non-federal match.
Administratively, the opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number DHS-08-GPD-070-009 and is categorized under "Other" funding activity, clarified as "Management Support of Map Modernization Program." It was originally 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 responsible agency is listed as Region 9, and further program information is referenced through FEMA's MMMS webpage. For applicants who cannot access the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact is Bianca Costa, DHS/FEMA GPD Systems Branch Chief, reachable at bianca.costa@dhs.gov.
