Soha Housing operates as a community-based, resident-owned housing association, with governance that directly involves residents and staff in decisions and service design. It owns and manages around 7,300 homes across Oxfordshire, Wiltshire, and West Berkshire, serving more than 15,000 residents, including Oxford, Swindon and High Wycombe. The organization develops new homes for rent, for shared ownership for first-time buyers, and for sheltered and extra-care housing, aiming to provide secure, affordable housing in a high-cost region. Soha is part of PlaceShapers, a national alliance of community-focused housing associations, reflecting its positioning within the non-profit housing sector. It emphasizes equality and diversity in recruitment and staff development, and in 2024 it partnered with the Oxfordshire Social Entrepreneurship Partnership to support healthy, vibrant communities, reduce social isolation, and improve employment opportunities in areas of deprivation. Based in Didcot, Oxfordshire, the group operates with a mid-sized workforce.
