Community assistance program state support services element (cap-SSSE)

The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (MDEGLE) was awarded a $350,904.80 Cooperative Agreement under the Community Assistance Program - State Support Services Element (CAP-SSSE) (CFDA 97.023) by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). This funding supports MDEGLE, the designated state agency in Michigan, in providing technical assistance to communities participating in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) and evaluating their compliance with NFIP floodplain management requirements. Key services to be delivered include floodplain mapping, engineering assessments, community outreach, regulatory guidance, and program evaluations to enable effective local NFIP implementation across the state. The CAP-SSSE program aims to build state-level capacity to support NFIP communities through financial assistance to designated state agencies.
