What We Do
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.
