This grant, the Community Assistance Program – State Support Services Element (CAP-SSSE), is offered under the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Its primary objective is to ensure that communities involved in the NFIP successfully achieve their flood loss reduction goals. This is accomplished through a State grant mechanism, which provides funding to states. States are then tasked with offering essential technical assistance to NFIP communities and rigorously evaluating their performance in implementing vital floodplain management activities. The grant’s ultimate purpose is to cultivate and strengthen both community and State-level floodplain management expertise and capability, thereby enhancing national resilience against flood hazards and ensuring the long-term effectiveness of the NFIP objectives.

Eligibility

| 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. |
