Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 23 MT 045 01 99
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 Cooperating Technical Partners (CTP) Program - Regional is a FEMA discretionary funding opportunity offered under the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to strengthen the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) Flood Hazard Mapping Program. It is designed to expand and improve FEMA's flood hazard identification and risk assessment work, especially through the Risk Mapping, Assessment and Planning (Risk MAP) program. The central aim is practical: produce higher-quality flood hazard data and mapping products that help communities better understand their flood risk and, more importantly, take steps that reduce risk to people, buildings, and infrastructure.
A major theme of the opportunity is partnership. The CTP model relies on collaboration with state, local, tribal, and other eligible entities that can contribute technical expertise, local knowledge, and capacity to support FEMA's mapping mission. Risk MAP is framed not just as a technical mapping exercise, but as a process that actively involves communities throughout map development and risk communication. By engaging local stakeholders and sharing ownership of the final products, FEMA expects the resulting tools and maps to better match community needs, improve public understanding of flood hazards, and support real-world decisions like land-use planning, mitigation investments, and outreach to residents and businesses.
The work supported under this opportunity centers on developing and updating flood hazard data and maps, including Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs). The program targets several needs: creating flood hazard information for places that have never had their risks formally identified, improving or building upon existing flood hazard datasets and FIRMs where they already exist, and increasing public awareness of flood risk along with mitigation options. The description also highlights the scale of CTP contributions in the prior year as an indicator of typical program activity, noting that during FY22, CTPs processed more than 200 Letters of Map Change, delivered FIRMs to 307 communities for review, and initiated roughly 40,000 miles of stream studies to be updated. These examples illustrate that FEMA expects partners to help move a significant volume of technical mapping and map-maintenance work forward.
From an administrative standpoint, this opportunity is offered as a cooperative agreement, which generally implies substantial involvement by FEMA during the project period compared with a standard grant. The opportunity is categorized under disaster prevention and relief and natural resources, and it is listed under CFDA number 97.045. FEMA anticipated making around 130 awards. The notice lists an award ceiling of 0, which typically signals that a single fixed maximum was not specified in the synopsis and that applicants should rely on the full funding notice or FEMA guidance for any practical budgeting constraints, regional allocations, or project-based limits.
Eligibility is broad and includes state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, certain nonprofit organizations (501(c)(3), excluding institutions of higher education), and private institutions of higher education. Applications are submitted through FEMA Grants Outcomes (GO) at https://go.fema.gov/. The opportunity was created April 26, 2023, with an original closing date of June 19, 2023. For applicants looking for program background, FEMA points to its public webpages for Risk MAP and the Cooperating Technical Partners Program, which include goals, strategies, and examples of outcomes achieved through these partnerships.Apply for DHS 23 MT 045 01 99
