FEMA Regional Offices in conjunction with FEMA Headquarters award funding to eligible States. The grant agreement is the administrative and funding mechanism which ensures FEMA with a single method of delivering Federal financial assistance to States.

Grant Description

There is a 25 percent non-federal match for all States receiving CAP-SSSE funds.

However, annual State funding levels may vary depending on needs, capability, performance, FEMA priorities, and the availability of funds.
