Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 17 MT 023 008 99
The Community Assistance Program - State Support Services Element (CAP-SSSE) - R8 is a discretionary grant opportunity issued by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Region 8, to support stronger floodplain management and National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) implementation at the community level. Through this program, states receive funding to provide hands-on technical assistance to local jurisdictions that participate in the NFIP, and to review how well those communities are carrying out NFIP floodplain management requirements in practice. In plain terms, the program is meant to help states act as a support and oversight partner for cities, counties, and other participating communities so local floodplain management programs remain effective, consistent, and compliant with NFIP standards.
Funding is offered through a cooperative agreement, which generally means the federal agency expects ongoing involvement or coordination with the recipient during the project period rather than a simple one-time pass-through award. The eligible applicants are state governments, and the opportunity is tied to CFDA number 97.023. The posting indicates an expectation of 52 awards, signaling that this program is structured to support a broad set of state-level recipients or state-administered efforts across multiple jurisdictions. While an award ceiling is listed as 0, that typically indicates the ceiling was not specified in the public summary and applicants would need to refer to the full notice or related guidance to understand actual funding limits, budget expectations, and allowable cost details.
The purpose of the CAP-SSSE work described here has two main parts. First, states are funded to deliver technical assistance to NFIP-participating communities, which can include guidance on floodplain ordinance administration, permitting, mapping and data use, elevation and floodproofing requirements, enforcement practices, and other local procedures tied to flood risk reduction. Second, states are funded to evaluate community performance in implementing NFIP floodplain management activities, which commonly involves structured assessments or visits to determine whether local programs are meeting NFIP criteria, maintaining required records, administering permits appropriately in special flood hazard areas, and using flood hazard information correctly. These evaluations help identify gaps, corrective actions, and training needs, and they support the overall integrity of the NFIP by encouraging consistent implementation across communities.
Key administrative details from the announcement include the funding opportunity title (Community Assistance Program - State Support Services Element (CAP-SSSE) - R8) and funding opportunity number (DHS 17 MT 023 008 99). The opportunity was created on May 31, 2017, with an original closing date of July 30, 2017. The funding activity category is listed as "Other," which typically reflects that the work does not fit neatly into a single standard category and is better defined by the program description itself, namely state-level support services for NFIP community assistance and performance evaluation.
Overall, this opportunity is geared toward strengthening local floodplain management outcomes by resourcing state agencies to coach, monitor, and improve how communities carry out NFIP responsibilities. The underlying public benefit is better compliance with floodplain management standards, more consistent local administration of flood hazard regulations, and improved community capacity to reduce flood risk over time.Apply for DHS 17 MT 023 008 99
