Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 23 MT 023 05 99
The Fiscal Year 2023 Community Assistance Program - State Support Services Element (CAP-SSSE) Region 5 funding opportunity is a FEMA discretionary cooperative agreement designed to strengthen how states support local floodplain management under the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The core purpose is to fund state-level work that helps communities participating in the NFIP do a better job implementing required floodplain management measures, while also giving states resources to review and evaluate how well those communities are performing. By building state capacity and expertise, the program aims to reduce flood losses over time and ensure the NFIP's flood loss reduction goals are met through consistent, informed oversight and hands-on technical support.
A central feature of CAP-SSSE is the role of the State Coordinating Agency, whose designation, duties, and responsibilities are outlined in federal regulation at 44 CFR 60.25. In practical terms, this means the program is tied directly to a state's formal commitment to uphold minimum floodplain management criteria and to demonstrate that it has the capability and responsibility to carry out NFIP-related support functions. Funding supports states in providing technical assistance to local jurisdictions, helping them interpret and apply NFIP requirements, and improving the overall quality and consistency of floodplain management practices across participating communities. It also supports systematic evaluation of community implementation, which is essential for identifying gaps, targeting assistance, and maintaining program integrity.
Eligibility is limited to state governments, reflecting the program's intent to operate through state-level coordinating structures rather than directly funding local governments or private entities. The awarding agency is the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The assistance is issued as a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial federal involvement in areas such as program oversight, coordination, and monitoring of performance, rather than a hands-off grant structure.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number DHS 23 MT 023 05 99 and the CFDA number 97.023.

The funding activity categories attached to the notice span multiple areas, including disaster prevention and relief, environment, regional development, education, business and commerce, and science and technology, which reflects the broad cross-cutting nature of floodplain management and the way it touches planning, regulation, public safety, and community resilience.
