Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 23 MT 023 09 99
The Fiscal Year 2023 Community Assistance Program - State Support Services Element (CAP-SSSE) Region 9 opportunity is a FEMA grant program that funds state governments to strengthen how communities carry out floodplain management under the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The core purpose is practical and performance-focused: states use the funding to provide technical assistance to NFIP-participating communities and to evaluate how well those communities are implementing NFIP floodplain management requirements. By supporting states in this role, the program is designed to reduce flood losses over time, improve compliance with NFIP standards, and build lasting floodplain management capability at both the state and local levels.
A key feature of CAP-SSSE is that it reinforces the formal role of the State Coordinating Agency, including the duties and responsibilities spelled out in federal regulation at 44 CFR 60.25. Those rules frame what FEMA expects states to do to support NFIP administration, including showing a commitment to minimum floodplain management criteria and demonstrating the capability and accountability needed to implement and oversee program-related activities. In practice, this means the state acts as the connector between FEMA and local jurisdictions, helping communities understand requirements, apply best practices, correct gaps identified in reviews, and maintain effective floodplain management programs that align with NFIP rules.
This particular funding opportunity is issued by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement. Cooperative agreements typically indicate FEMA expects substantial involvement during the period of performance, such as coordination, oversight, or programmatic guidance as states carry out technical assistance and community evaluations. The opportunity is cataloged under CFDA 97.023 and is associated with multiple public purpose areas, including disaster prevention and relief, environment, education, regional development, and research and development-related categories, reflecting how floodplain management intersects with planning, mitigation, public administration, and community resilience.
Eligibility is limited to state governments, consistent with CAP-SSSE being a state support element rather than a direct-to-local program. For this posting, FEMA anticipated making about 52 awards, with an award ceiling listed at $900,000. The opportunity was created on May 3, 2023, and had an original application closing date of June 16, 2023. Applications for this funding opportunity are submitted through FEMA Grants Outcomes (GO) at https://go.fema.gov/, which is FEMA's online grants management system used for application submission and related award administration.Apply for DHS 23 MT 023 09 99
