The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) is offering the Community Assistance Program – State Support Services Element (CAP-SSSE) grant. This vital grant is designed to strengthen flood loss reduction efforts across communities participating in the NFIP. This program specifically provides State grants to empower States in supporting NFIP communities effectively. Through this funding, States can offer crucial technical assistance to local communities and rigorously evaluate their performance in implementing essential floodplain management activities. The primary purpose of this grant is to systematically build and enhance floodplain management expertise and capability at both the community and State levels, ultimately ensuring these entities can achieve NFIP’s critical flood reduction objectives.

Eligibility
| Eligible Applicants: | State governments |
| Additional Information on Eligibility: | The National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 prohibits the Director 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 and familiarity with State governing authorities and how these interrelate with local floodplain management ordinances, as well as their knowledge of related State programs. |
