This grant, the Community Assistance Program – State Support Services Element (CAP-SSSE), is for empowering states to support their communities in meeting National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) floodplain management requirements. Federal law necessitates communities adopt specific measures, like ordinances or building codes, to be eligible for flood insurance. Through CAP-SSSE, FEMA partners with State Coordinating Agencies, designated by Governors, to provide essential technical assistance. These state personnel assist FEMA Regions by monitoring community compliance, evaluating floodplain management efforts, and implementing necessary corrective actions. States are uniquely positioned to deliver these services effectively due to their deep understanding of local governance, related state programs, and community needs, ensuring robust flood loss reduction activities.

Eligibility
| Eligible Applicants: | State governments |
| Additional Information on Eligibility: | The National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 prohibits the Administrator from providing flood insurance in a community unless that community adopts and enforces floodplain management measures that meet or exceed minimum criteria in 44 CFR Part 60.3. These floodplain management measures can take the form of floodplain management ordinances, building codes, or zoning provisions. The Act also directs FEMA to work closely with and provide any necessary technical assistance to States and communities participating in the NFIP. CAP-SSSE, through its State partnering agreement, is designed to make State personnel available to assist and supplement FEMA Regions in providing technical assistance to NFIP communities and in monitoring, evaluating, and pursuing corrective actions taken by communities in the performance of local floodplain management responsibilities. Under CFR 60.25, Governors have exercised their prerogative of designating a "State Coordinating Agency" that is best able to carry out the flood loss reduction activities of the NFIP. State officials can be particularly effective in delivering these services to communities because of their knowledge, skills and familiarity of floodplain management with State governing authorities and how these interrelate with local floodplain management ordinances, as well as their knowledge of related State programs. |
