Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 21 MT 045 02 01

The Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 Cooperating Technical Partners (CTP) Program - Region 2 is a FEMA grant opportunity offered under the Department of Homeland Security that uses cooperative agreements to help strengthen and improve the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The basic idea behind the CTP Program is to build and sustain strong working partnerships between FEMA and capable partners at the state, tribal, regional, and local levels so flood risk data and flood hazard mapping products are developed and maintained more effectively. By supporting partners who can contribute technical expertise, data, and local knowledge, the program aims to improve the quality and usefulness of flood hazard information and, in turn, help communities make better decisions that reduce flood losses and support long-term resilience.

This opportunity is closely tied to FEMA's Risk Mapping, Assessment and Planning (Risk MAP) program and is framed as part of broader national preparedness and resilience priorities. It aligns with the DHS 2020-2024 Strategic Plan goal of strengthening national preparedness and resilience, supports the National Mitigation Investment Strategy (which complements Presidential Policy Directive PPD-8 on National Preparedness), and reinforces FEMA strategic priorities focused on building a culture of preparedness and ensuring the nation is ready for catastrophic disasters. In practical terms, the funding is meant to support efforts that identify and communicate flood risk more clearly, encourage actions that reduce risk, and help communities become more resilient by improving the technical credibility of flood data and increasing meaningful engagement with communities throughout the Risk MAP lifecycle.

For FY 2021, the program emphasizes a few specific directions. One focus is initiating new mapping or data update projects in watersheds that have high risk and significant needs for updated flood hazard information. Another is integrating partner-developed data and stakeholder-provided information into broader local and regional activities, including mitigation planning and risk assessments, so that mapping work does not sit on a shelf but actually informs decisions and leads to practical, actionable mitigation strategies. The program also aims to create conditions that can spur community-level actions to reduce flood risk, which can include improved planning, better risk communication, and stronger alignment between mapping products and mitigation initiatives. A final theme is maximizing the impact of available dollars by coordinating spending across local, state, and federal efforts, using funds in concert and reducing duplication of work wherever possible.

The grant is listed as a discretionary opportunity with funding activity categories that include disaster prevention and relief as well as natural resources, reflecting its dual role in hazard mitigation and resource-informed planning. The CFDA number associated with the program is 97.045. Eligible applicants are broad and include state governments, counties, cities or townships, special district governments, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, federally recognized tribal governments, eligible 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations (other than institutions of higher education), and private institutions of higher education. This wide eligibility supports the program's partnership model, where a variety of public-sector and mission-aligned entities can serve as technical partners in developing and improving flood hazard data and related products.

Key administrative details from the notice include a funding opportunity number of DHS 21 MT 045 02 01, with FEMA as the issuing agency within DHS. The opportunity was created on March 31, 2021, with an original application closing date of May 31, 2021. The award ceiling is listed at $800,000, and FEMA anticipated making around 10 awards under this notice. Overall, the program is designed to fund collaborative, technically credible flood risk work that improves mapping and risk understanding while directly supporting mitigation planning, community engagement, and coordinated investments that reduce future flood losses.
