Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 23 MT 023 08 99
The Fiscal Year 2023 Community Assistance Program - State Support Services Element (CAP-SSSE) Region 8 opportunity is a FEMA grant program that funds state governments so they can strengthen floodplain management and reduce flood losses through better implementation of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The core purpose is to help states provide hands-on technical assistance to participating communities and to regularly evaluate how well those communities are carrying out NFIP floodplain management requirements. In practical terms, the program is meant to improve day-to-day local administration of floodplain rules, increase consistency and compliance with NFIP standards, and ultimately reduce damage from floods by ensuring that development in flood-prone areas is managed appropriately.
A key feature of CAP-SSSE is that it centers on the role of the State Coordinating Agency, which is formally addressed in federal regulation at 44 CFR 60.25. Those regulations describe how a state designates the agency responsible for coordinating NFIP-related activities statewide, what that agency is expected to do, and what capabilities the state must demonstrate to support communities that participate in the NFIP. The grant therefore supports states in meeting their commitment to minimum floodplain management criteria, maintaining the expertise needed to guide local governments, and showing they have the capacity and accountability to implement and oversee NFIP-related work. By investing in state-level technical capacity, FEMA is using states as a multiplier: states can apply their local knowledge, relationships, and experience to help many communities improve at once.
This is a discretionary funding opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security through FEMA, and awards are issued as cooperative agreements, which typically means FEMA expects meaningful program involvement, coordination, and oversight during the period of performance rather than a hands-off pass-through grant. Eligible applicants are limited to state governments. The opportunity is listed under CFDA (Assistance Listing) number 97.023 and is categorized broadly across areas such as disaster prevention and relief, environment, education, regional development, business and commerce, and science and technology/research, reflecting the cross-cutting nature of floodplain management and hazard mitigation work.
For this FY 2023 cycle, the funding opportunity number is DHS 23 MT 023 08 99. The notice was created on May 03, 2023, with an original application closing date of June 16, 2023. FEMA anticipated making 52 awards, and the award ceiling listed for the opportunity is $900,000.
