ARS Michigan Program Command Center
Field-ready review page for inspections, qualification, and homeowner funding conversations. This version is optimized for phone and iPad use and stays on the current heuristic address model so the team can use it immediately.
Use this in the field, not just at a desk.
Capture the property details, classify likely rural fit, rank the homeowner’s best program paths, and open a step-by-step guide without forcing the team through a desktop-only layout.
Best broad energy and envelope program story.
Still the strongest rural repair route.
Useful for active hazard and leak cases.
County and city rehab tracks can become repeatable volume.
Inspection scoring + address classification
Built for fast field use. Single-page, large tap targets, and current heuristic rural screening so reps can use it immediately.
Heuristic rural screening
This is the stable field build. It classifies likely rural fit from address inputs and manual rep signals. It is not yet live geocoding or USDA yes/no validation.
Classification output
Field use note
- Use this for in-person triage during the inspection.
- If USDA is the likely path, verify the address later before making a hard eligibility promise.
- The score ranking is still useful even without live geocoding.
Michigan program stack
Rank the strongest fit, then open the guide and talk through next steps with the homeowner.
Field playbook
How the rep should actually use this during an inspection.
Active leak, storm damage, age, insurance posture, and whether the home is owner-occupied.
Income band, senior / disability / veteran signals, and likely rural fit.
Open the top program, explain how it works, then set the expectation clearly.
ARS next moves
What happens after the inspection.
Move energy-package and solar-adjacent jobs into the broader financing / rebate workflow.
Verify rural or county fit, then gather the exact docs and prepare the contractor estimate.
Escalate SER or veteran assistance where hardship or hazard is the core story.
Best channel by prospect type
Use this for routing and messaging after the inspection.
| Prospect profile | Program lead | Best channel | Message angle |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rural senior, older roof | USDA Section 504 | Phone + direct mail | No upfront burden; direct contractor payment is possible. |
| Low-income county homeowner | CDBG / HOME / local rehab | Partner referral + field consult | We know the process and can help navigate it. |
| Recent storm-zone homeowner | Insurance stack + SER + disaster tracks | Field follow-up | Storm damage plus possible assistance paths. |
| Veteran household | MVTF + USDA / Revive | Referral + consult | Veteran-focused help may be available. |
| Energy-upgrade homeowner | MiHER + Michigan Saves | Inbound consult | Bundle roof-adjacent work into a broader efficiency conversation. |
