Soha Housing is a social landlord, providing affordable homes for those who prefer to rent, or can’t afford to rent or buy in the private sector. We manage homes throughout Oxfordshire, Wiltshire and West Berkshire, including Oxford, Swindon and High Wycombe.
We take our social responsibilities very seriously, investing money and time to support our neighbourhoods. We run free training courses, use local contractors where possible and aim to have ‘safer, cleaner, greener’ neighbourhoods and estates.
