How will homes be selected?
Members must complete an application to be considered for program selection. Depending on the program, only S.C. co-op members who live in a site-built or manufactured home are eligible to be chosen for these studies. Since each study targets either site-built or manufactured homes, not all homeowners who apply will qualify for their co-op’s program(s). Expert panels, including co-op staff, will choose a designated number of homes for each study based on research requirements, how well the home matches the specific program needs and other factors as outlined in the rules.
