Objectives
The Community Assistance Program – State Support Services Element (CAP- SSSE) program provides funding to states and territories to provide technical assistance to communities in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) and to evaluate community performance in implementing NFIP floodplain management activities. CAP-SSSE aligns with and supports DHS Strategic Goal 5: Strengthen Preparedness and Resilience. CAP- SSSE strives to leverage state knowledge and expertise to provide support to communities through activities that most effectively reduce flood losses. The CAP-SSSE cooperative agreement funds eligible activities to enable state NFIP coordinating agencies to meet the provisions set forth in 44 C.F.R.§ 60.25 and the goals and performance expectations of the funding agency: FEMA and the NFIP.
Eligible applicants
The Cooperative Agreement is only available to the state or territorial agency so designated by the Governor, as the state or territorial National Flood Insurance Program State Coordinating Agency, (44 C.F.R. 60.25). The CAP-SSSE is administered through the Mitigation Division, Floodplain Management and Insurance Branch (FM&I) of each FEMA Regional Office. FEMA's Regional Offices work with eligible states and territories to negotiate a mutually acceptable grant agreement. Funding is made available when the grant agreement is negotiated and agreed upon. Continued participation in the CAP-SSSE is dependent upon completing activities described in the grant agreement. The CAP-SSSE is designed to utilize the floodplain management capabilities of individual states and territories in a cost-effective cooperative agreement with FEMA. Grantees must complete a Tiered State Framework (TSF) assessment to receive the grant and be assessed every three years (starting in 2020). Grantees must achieve designated performance measures to continue to receive funding.
