Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 23 MT 023 01 99
Fiscal Year 2023 Community Assistance Program - State Support Services Element (CAP-SSSE) Region 1 is a FEMA discretionary funding opportunity that supports state governments in strengthening how communities carry out floodplain management under the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The basic idea of the program is to give states resources to both assist local communities with NFIP participation requirements and to check how well those communities are implementing floodplain management activities that reduce flood risk and losses over time. By investing in state-level capacity, the program aims to keep local programs consistent with NFIP standards, improve compliance and technical competence, and ultimately reduce flood-related damages.
The grant is administered by the Department of Homeland Security through FEMA and is offered as a cooperative agreement, which generally signals an active partnership between the federal agency and the recipient during the period of performance rather than a purely hands-off award. Eligible applicants are state governments, reflecting the program structure where states serve as key coordinators and technical advisors to their participating NFIP communities. CAP-SSSE ties directly to the formal role of State Coordinating Agencies described in 44 CFR 60.25, which lays out how states designate the agency responsible for NFIP-related coordination, what that agency is expected to do, and what the state must demonstrate in terms of commitment and capability to support minimum floodplain management criteria.
In practical terms, the funding is meant to help states deliver technical assistance to communities, which can include guidance on floodplain ordinance administration, interpreting FEMA flood maps and data, advising on permit processes in mapped flood hazard areas, supporting community education and outreach related to flood risk, and helping communities adopt or maintain practices that align with NFIP requirements. A second major function supported by the program is evaluating community performance, meaning the state helps review whether communities are implementing floodplain management activities effectively and consistently. That evaluation component supports accountability and helps identify gaps early, before compliance issues or weak local practices translate into higher losses or program problems.
The opportunity is identified as DHS 23 MT 023 01 99 under Assistance Listing (CFDA) 97.023. FEMA anticipated making 52 awards, with an award ceiling listed at $900,000. The opportunity was created on May 3, 2023, with an original application closing date of June 16, 2023. The listed funding activity categories span areas such as disaster prevention and relief, environment, education, regional development, and science and technology, which reflects how floodplain management touches land use planning, risk communication, local governance, and hazard mitigation.
