Department Summary

The Brilliant Corners’ Housing Services Team is nationally recognized for its ability to secure scattered-site and project-based housing for vulnerable and extremely low-income households within tight rental markets. With offices in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and San Diego, our team moves hundreds of folks into permanent housing every month. We use robust landlord engagement strategies, including financial incentives, to secure community-based units for vulnerable populations. Our participants include people exiting institutions, people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and people experiencing homelessness. Using a customer-service approach, we pair landlord engagement with tenancy-centered services to ensure shared success for our participants, property providers, case management partners, and funders. This collaborative approach is instrumental in ending cycles of homelessness and institutionalization for thousands of people in Los Angeles County and across California.
