Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 17 MT 023 001 99
The Community Assistance Program - State Support Services Element (CAP-SSSE) - R1 is a discretionary federal funding opportunity offered through FEMA (under the Department of Homeland Security) to strengthen how communities carry out floodplain management responsibilities tied to the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The basic purpose is to help state governments support local jurisdictions that participate in the NFIP by providing hands-on technical assistance and by assessing how well those communities are meeting NFIP floodplain management standards. In practical terms, the program is designed to improve compliance, reduce flood risk, and promote more consistent and effective floodplain management practices across participating communities.
This opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 17 MT 023 001 99) is issued as a cooperative agreement, which generally means FEMA expects an ongoing working relationship with the award recipients rather than a simple one-time pass-through of funds. The funding activity category is listed as "Other," reflecting that the focus is on programmatic support services like technical assistance, guidance, and evaluation activities rather than construction or direct infrastructure projects. The assistance is tied to CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) 97.023, which is FEMA's NFIP-related assistance listing.
Eligibility is limited to state governments, meaning states are the intended applicants and recipients. The role of the state under CAP-SSSE is to act as a statewide resource for NFIP-participating communities: helping local officials interpret and apply floodplain regulations, improve ordinance administration, strengthen permitting and inspection practices, and address recurring compliance gaps that can lead to increased flood losses or program enforcement issues. Another central component is the evaluation of community performance, which typically involves reviewing local floodplain management programs and their implementation, identifying deficiencies, and recommending corrective actions or improvements so communities remain in good standing with NFIP requirements.
The opportunity is associated with FEMA Region 1 (as indicated by the "R1" and the agency name listed as Region 1), which covers the New England states. The posting was created on May 31, 2017, with an original closing date of July 30, 2017. The opportunity anticipated a relatively broad distribution of awards, with 52 expected awards noted in the source data, suggesting the program was structured to support multiple state-level efforts and possibly multiple funding actions across jurisdictions aligned with FEMA's regional and national CAP-SSSE framework.
Notably, the award ceiling is listed as 0 in the provided data. In many grants listings, a zero ceiling can indicate that the maximum award amount is not specified in the public summary, may be determined by allocation formulas, annual appropriations, negotiated work plans, or other internal program guidance rather than a single published cap. In other words, interested applicants would typically look to program guidance, regional instructions, or FEMA communications for the expected funding range, deliverables, and budgeting parameters.
Overall, CAP-SSSE - R1 is best understood as a capacity-building and accountability program for NFIP implementation. It supports states in helping communities do the day-to-day work that makes floodplain management effective: administering compliant ordinances, improving flood loss reduction practices, and evaluating local program performance so problems are identified early and corrected before they translate into higher flood risk, higher insurance losses, or NFIP participation issues.Apply for DHS 17 MT 023 001 99
