Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 22 MT 045 04 01
Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 Cooperating Technical Partners (CTP) Program - Region 4 is a FEMA grant opportunity run under the Department of Homeland Security that funds partnerships to improve how flood risk is identified, mapped, communicated, and ultimately reduced. The program is designed to strengthen and enhance the effectiveness of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) by supporting the Flood Hazard Mapping Program and FEMA's broader flood hazard identification and risk assessment work. In practical terms, it helps communities and partner organizations generate better flood hazard data and flood maps, which then supports smarter local decisions about land use, building standards, insurance, and mitigation investments.
The opportunity is closely tied to FEMA's Risk Mapping, Assessment and Planning (Risk MAP) initiative. Risk MAP focuses on producing reliable, high-quality flood hazard information that the public can understand and use, with the larger goal of turning awareness into real risk-reduction actions that protect lives and property. The CTP program supports this by funding technical work that either creates flood hazard data and mapping for places that have not previously had strong flood risk identification, or improves and updates existing flood insurance rate maps (FIRMs) and related datasets. The emphasis is not only on producing maps, but also on increasing public awareness of flood risk and helping communities see and evaluate mitigation options so those options can be incorporated into ongoing planning.
From a policy standpoint, the program is framed as a way to strengthen national preparedness and resilience, aligning with the DHS 2020-2024 Strategic Plan. It also supports the National Mitigation Investment Strategy (which complements Presidential Policy Directive PPD-8 on National Preparedness) and connects directly to FEMA strategic goals focused on building a culture of preparedness and ensuring the nation is ready for catastrophic disasters. The underlying idea is that flood losses can be reduced most effectively when FEMA works in coordinated partnerships with state, tribal, regional, and local entities that understand local conditions and can help carry out mapping and risk communication work in a way that is actionable for residents and decision-makers.
This Region 4 funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 22 MT 045 04 01) is offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement, meaning FEMA expects substantial involvement and coordination with awardees rather than a hands-off pass-through. The funding activity area is listed under Disaster Prevention and Relief and Natural Resources, with CFDA number 97.045. The total award ceiling is $21,700,000, with an estimated 12 awards anticipated. Eligibility is broad and includes state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, federally recognized tribal governments, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations (other than higher education institutions).
Key dates listed for this opportunity include a creation date of June 9, 2022, and an original application closing date of July 21, 2022. Anyone looking for deeper program context, goals, and examples of outcomes is directed to FEMA's Risk MAP resources page (https://www.fema.gov/flood-maps/tools-resources/risk-map) and the CTP program page (https://www.fema.gov/flood-maps/cooperating-technical-partners), which provide additional background on how FEMA structures flood mapping partnerships and what types of mapping and risk assessment activities are typically supported.Apply for DHS 22 MT 045 04 01

Which federal agency runs this funding opportunity?
The opportunity is run by FEMA, which is part of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
What is the main purpose of the CTP Program?
The main purpose is to help communities and partner organizations produce better flood hazard data and flood maps so that local decisions about land use, building standards, insurance, and mitigation investments can be better informed and more effective at reducing flood risk.
How does this program relate to the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP)?
The program is designed to strengthen and enhance the effectiveness of the NFIP by supporting the Flood Hazard Mapping Program and FEMA's broader flood hazard identification and risk assessment work.
