About us
Brilliant Corners provides innovative housing and housing-related services to California’s most vulnerable individuals, with an emphasis on those transitioning from, or at risk of, homelessness or institutionalization. We were founded in 2004 on the belief that all people deserve safe, affordable housing that includes the support services they need to live as independently as possible. We quickly became California’s largest housing partner in the historic shift from institutional settings to community-based housing for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD). Over the past 15 years, we have embraced the challenge of scaling innovative supportive housing for those who need it most, with an emphasis on those transitioning from, or at risk of, homelessness or institutionalization. Working at the intersection of housing and sectors such as healthcare, veterans’ services, criminal justice, and the homelessness response system, Brilliant Corners provides a variety of innovative supportive housing models that meet the unique needs of each individual we serve. Brilliant Corners’ approach is based on Housing First principles, person-centered planning, and community living in the least restrictive setting. Our staff work hand-in-hand with our clients to achieve their self-identified goals—including safe housing, financial stability, improved medical and mental health, connecting with family, community engagement and an overall improved quality of life. Simply put, Brilliant Corners staff members meet people where they are, and value and respect the whole person. Mission: To create affordable, supportive housing for vulnerable and undeserved people, including but not limited to people with intellectual and physical disabilities and those transitioning or diverted from homelessness or institutions.

Many thanks to our valued partners who joined us for a truly special evening in San Francisco, celebrating the twin milestones of Brilliant Corners' 20th Anniversary and the 10th anniversary of the Flexible Housing Subsidy Pool model. Gathering together in the city where Brilliant Corners began was such a fitting and meaningful way to reflect on our progress over the years. Among our honored guests were featured speaker Shamus Roller, Brilliant Corners Board President and Executive Director of the National Housing Law Project; Barry Benda, Brilliant Corners co-founder; and former Brilliant Corners COO Matt Omelagah, who was instrumental in the program design and start-up of our housing + services approach. There is much more work to be done to #SolveHomelessness, but looking around that room, we were reminded that with such strong support, we will continue to succeed in making lasting, impactful change in our communities. #SupportiveHousing #NonProfit #BrilliantCornerns20 #HousingForAll #CARealEstate #HousingDevelopment

We're excited to share that the Flexible Housing Subsidy Pool model was highlighted on a recent webinar hosted by the National Low Income Housing Coalition , the National Alliance to End Homelessness, and the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. As part of their series on “Preventing and Ending Homelessness through Innovative State and Local Legislation," our amazing partner Leepi Shimkhada, Deputy Director of Los Angeles County Department of Health Services (DHS) Housing for Health division, shared about the success of the Flexible Housing Subsidy Pool model, the groundbreaking program launched by LA County DHS and operated by Brilliant Corners. Now in its 10th year, the LA Flex Pool has housed and served over 13,000 Angelenos.
