How Cass County’s ‘one-application’ Whole Home Performance program will work

Cass County Whole Home Performance information session · August 26, 2026

Summary

Market1 and Capital Access told homeowners the program bundles multiple funding streams into a single application and coordinated scope of work so that sequencing problems (for example, roof repairs delaying energy retrofits) are minimized.

Market1 explained that the Whole Home Performance approach asks homeowners to complete a single, comprehensive application; program staff will evaluate eligibility across multiple funding sources and assemble a coordinated scope of work.

"So what whole home is is you will apply for 1 application, and then we will, on the back end, figure out which grants and which pots of money you're eligible for to do as much work on your home as we can do," the presenter said. The presenter clarified the program is intended for repairs that address health, safety, code compliance and energy efficiency rather than cosmetic projects.

Market1 said the program includes a comprehensive site evaluation to prioritize and sequence repairs. Staff will assist applicants in finding preapproved contractors and will not begin work without homeowner sign-off on the proposed scope; final inspections will confirm work meets code before a project is closed.
