Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 17 MT 023 005 99
The Community Assistance Program - State Support Services Element (CAP-SSSE) - R5 is a discretionary federal grant opportunity administered through the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Region 5, focused on strengthening how communities participate in and carry out requirements of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The central purpose of CAP-SSSE is to fund state-level work that helps local governments understand, implement, and improve floodplain management practices tied to NFIP participation. In practical terms, the program is meant to improve flood risk management outcomes by supporting states as they guide communities on technical floodplain issues and check how well communities are following NFIP-related standards.
This opportunity is offered as a cooperative agreement, which typically signals that the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply issuing funds. While the source text does not spell out the day-to-day mechanics of that involvement, cooperative agreements commonly include coordinated planning, shared oversight, and federal input on work plans, deliverables, and reporting. The funding activity category is listed as "Other," indicating it does not fit neatly into common labels like construction or research, and is better understood as program support for technical assistance, program administration, and performance evaluation related to NFIP floodplain management.
Eligible applicants are limited to state governments, reflecting the program's design as a state support element where states serve as the primary technical and oversight partner for participating communities. The program’s funded activities revolve around two main functions: first, providing technical assistance to communities enrolled in the NFIP, such as helping them interpret floodplain regulations, improve local ordinance administration, and strengthen floodplain management capacity; and second, evaluating community performance in implementing NFIP floodplain management activities, which generally means assessing whether communities are meeting program expectations, administering floodplain rules consistently, and maintaining adequate local practices that support NFIP compliance and flood risk reduction.
The funding opportunity number is DHS 17 MT 023 005 99, and it is associated with CFDA number 97.023. The record lists an expected 52 awards, suggesting distribution across multiple state-level recipients and/or multiple awards within the region or program structure. The award ceiling is listed as 0, which usually indicates the ceiling was not specified in the public synopsis or is determined through another method such as formula-based allocation, negotiated budgets, or program guidance rather than a single published maximum per award. The opportunity was created on May 31, 2017, with an original application closing date of July 30, 2017.
Overall, CAP-SSSE - R5 is best understood as targeted federal support to help states act as the technical backbone for NFIP communities, improving local floodplain management implementation and providing structured evaluation of community performance so that flood risk is managed more effectively and NFIP standards are more consistently applied.Apply for DHS 17 MT 023 005 99
