Cass County introduced as one of four pilots for HUD-backed ‘Whole Home Performance’ program
Summary
At a Cass County information session, officials and partners described a pilot to coordinate HUD, utility and state funding so homeowners can apply once for repairs addressing health, safety, code compliance and energy efficiency.
Hope Anderson, Cass County treasurer, opened an information session to introduce the County’s new Whole Home Performance pilot and thanked county and utility partners for supporting the effort.
"For those who I have not met yet, my name is Hope Anderson. I'm the Cass County treasurer," Anderson said as she invited partners to the podium and turned the session over to a HUD technical-assistance provider.
Ross Woods of Capital Access told attendees the program was created to reduce the administrative and sequencing barriers homeowners face when multiple funding sources are required for a single home repair. "Your community, Cass County, is 1 of 4 communities across the entire country that was selected for this pilot opportunity," Woods said, noting other pilot sites in South Carolina and Pennsylvania.
Woods said Capital Access advised HUD on the pilot concept and will support local partners in coordinating funding streams so eligible homeowners complete a single, coordinated scope of work rather than multiple fragmented repairs. Market1, the local economic development organization, will help administer the application process and on-the-ground work in Cass County. The session closed with Market1 outlining next steps for applications and follow-up assistance.
