For housing cooperatives

Cooperative Association Software Built for Co-op Boards

Housing co-ops are not condos and not HOAs — shareholders, proprietary leases, and a board of directors that has to actually enforce the bylaws. SoShiny gives your co-op a searchable rulebook, online voting, document control, and a free public site, without the per-feature pricing the legacy vendors love.

Built for the way co-ops actually run

Proprietary leases and bylaws are buried

Shareholders have rights spelled out across the proprietary lease, the bylaws, and house rules — and nobody can find them when it matters. SoShiny makes every governing document instantly searchable from any phone.

Board elections still run on paper

Annual meetings, board elections, and major capital votes get dragged out for weeks chasing paper ballots and proxies. Move it online with deadline-based ballots, quorum tracking, and an audit log that holds up.

Insurance and sublet approvals slip through

A shareholders HO-6 lapses, a sublet gets approved off-the-books, a vendors COI expires — and nobody notices until there is a claim or a fight. Track every policy, lease, and certificate in one place.
Every feature, on every plan

Every SoShiny feature, tuned for co-op boards

Searchable bylaws & proprietary lease

Your bylaws, proprietary lease, and house rules become a live, searchable knowledge base. Shareholders answer their own questions instead of emailing the board.

Online voting & board elections

Run annual elections, capital assessments, and bylaw amendments with deadline-based ballots, quorum tracking, and a clean results reveal — no paper proxies to chase.

Insurance & COI tracker

Log the buildings master policy, shareholder HO-6s, and vendor certificates of insurance with renewal dates and the actual document attached to each record.

Per-unit documents & sublet approvals

Proprietary leases, sublet agreements, alteration agreements, and board approvals — versioned, access-controlled, and scoped to the right unit or shareholder.

Shareholder & board directory

A unit-level roster with share counts, two phones and two emails per person, officer titles, and per-shareholder privacy controls.

Work orders & alteration requests

Track maintenance from request to done, and run a formal alteration-request workflow with print-ready board approvals that satisfy your governing documents.
In practice

How a real co-op board uses SoShiny

Governed by Florida Statutes Chapter 719? Every SoShiny co-op page deep-links to the relevant statute. Your shareholders can read §719.104 — Cooperatives; access to units, records, financial reports and §719.106 — Bylaws; cooperative ownership directly from your portal, alongside the bylaws and proprietary lease.

A 90-unit cooperative in Sunny Isles switches on SoShiny in an afternoon. The board president imports the shareholder roster and unit list from a spreadsheet, drops the proprietary lease and bylaws into Documents, and pastes the house rules into the searchable rules module.

Within a week, shareholders stop emailing the board to ask about sublet rules — they search "sublet" and read the policy themselves. The annual board election runs as an online ballot with live quorum tracking instead of a stack of mailed proxies, and the results are timestamped in the audit log. When a shareholders HO-6 is about to expire, it is right there in the COI tracker with the PDF attached. And the buildings free public page at soshiny.com/your-slug shows prospective shareholders the amenities, board, and house rules without anyone building a website.

FAQ

Co-op board questions, answered

What is the difference between SoShiny for condos and SoShiny for co-ops?

Same software, terminology tuned for cooperatives. Your roster shows shareholders and share counts instead of unit owners and ownership percentages, your document library calls out the proprietary lease and alteration agreements, and the public-facing copy speaks to shareholders, not unit owners. Every feature is included on every plan.

Does SoShiny handle Florida Chapter 719 cooperatives?

Yes. SoShiny is built for any housing cooperative, and we maintain a free Florida Chapter 719 statute hub so your shareholders can read the actual law alongside your bylaws and proprietary lease.

Can we run our board election and capital vote online?

Yes. SoShiny includes online voting with deadlines, quorum tracking, board-only or shareholder-wide audiences, and a results reveal. Co-ops use it for board elections, capital assessments, and bylaw amendments.

Can we track sublet approvals and alteration agreements?

Yes. Documents can be scoped to a specific unit or shareholder, restricted to the board, or made public on your landing page. Sublet approvals and alteration agreements live on the right units record forever.

How much does SoShiny cost for a co-op?

$50 per month base plus $0.50 per unit per month. Every feature is included on every plan — no tier-gating, no setup fees, no contracts, and a 30-day free trial.
