Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 21 MT 045 10 01
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 Cooperating Technical Partners (CTP) Program - Region 10 is a FEMA funding opportunity designed to strengthen and improve the effectiveness of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) by building and formalizing partnerships with qualified mapping and flood-risk organizations. Through cooperative agreements, FEMA works with state, tribal, regional, and local partners to better identify flood hazards, update and improve flood risk data, and translate that information into practical actions that reduce flood losses and support long-term community resilience. The program is closely tied to FEMA's Risk Mapping, Assessment, and Planning (Risk MAP) mission, with a particular emphasis in FY 2021 on producing technically credible data and keeping communities engaged throughout the full lifecycle of flood risk mapping and related planning work.
This opportunity aligns with broader federal preparedness and mitigation priorities. It directly supports the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) 2020-2024 Strategic Plan goal of strengthening national preparedness and resilience, and it also supports the National Mitigation Investment Strategy, which complements Presidential Policy Directive 8 (PPD-8) on national preparedness. In addition, it advances FEMA Strategic Plan goals focused on building a culture of preparedness and improving readiness for catastrophic disasters. In practical terms, FEMA is using the CTP model to make sure flood hazard identification and mapping efforts are not isolated technical exercises, but instead are connected to mitigation planning, risk assessments, and community decision-making that can reduce real-world risk.
The FY 2021 program approach highlights several focus areas. One priority is initiating new projects in watersheds where flood risk is high and existing flood hazard data are most in need of significant updates. Another is integrating flood risk data produced by mapping partners and other stakeholders into mitigation planning and risk assessment processes, with the intent of informing actionable mitigation strategies rather than leaving data unused. The program also aims to help catalyze community-level actions that measurably reduce flood risk, such as improved planning, better-informed development decisions, and mitigation investments. Finally, the program emphasizes coordination across local, state, tribal, and federal levels to stretch limited dollars further, avoid duplication of effort, and ensure mapping and mitigation work is aligned rather than fragmented.
Administratively, this is a discretionary funding opportunity offered by the Department of Homeland Security through FEMA, using the cooperative agreement instrument, which typically implies ongoing FEMA involvement and collaboration during project execution. The funding activity category is Disaster Prevention and Relief and Natural Resources, and it is associated with CFDA number 97.045. The opportunity number is DHS 21 MT 045 10 01. FEMA anticipated making about 13 awards under this notice, with an award ceiling of $1,900,000.
Eligibility is broad and includes state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations (excluding institutions of higher education).
