Soha Housing is a housing association that provides affordable homes for people who prefer to rent or cannot afford to own or rent a home in the private sector.
We are a non-profit making company. Any money we make is invested back into the association for the benefit of our tenants.
We manage around 5,200 homes and have a turnover of approximately £27.5 million.
This makes us one of the largest registered social landlords in Oxfordshire.
We are managed by our Board which meets regularly throughout the year. Its job is to set and review plans, policies and to make sure we carry out our legal responsibilities.
Soha Housing is registered with The Tenant Services Authority (No. L4130) and is a Charitable Industrial and Provident Society registered with the Financial Services Authority (No. 28410R).
The Audit Commission undertook a short notice inspection of Soha Housing in 2009. They looked particularly at Resident Involvement and Estates Management, as well as the cross cutting themes of Diversity, Access & Customer Care and Value for Money.
We are delighted that the Audit Commission gave the top possible rating to Soha for Resident Involvement and Value for Money and also that we have been assessed as having excellent prospects for improvement.
