What is membership?
Membership offers many opportunities for us to build on all the ways in which we already work together as residents, staff and Board to make decisions at Soha. As a mutual, our Board are accountable to our members who are the shareholders of Soha. Members also have the opportunity to stand for election to the new Members’ Forum, participate in elections to choose who sits on the Members’ Forum, and vote on big questions. This is in addition to the many other ways that already exist for all residents to become engaged with Soha.
“Tenants have good ways of being involved at Soha. But by becoming shareholding members, tenants can have even more influence for years ahead.”
Val Kir, Chair of Soha Tenants’

I became a member...
“...because Soha has good core values for tenants. Because I'd like to be able to make a difference if I can and becoming a member may help with that in respect of my local community.”
Linda Jones, Soha Member
