Organization Overview
Founded in 2004, 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 develop, own, and manage multi-family supportive housing and licensed residential care homes. We implement a broad array of scattered-site, one-on-one supportive housing, and clinical case management programs through partnerships with developmental services, homeless services, veterans’ services, and health care sectors.
In short, we do good work.
We have offices statewide with a staff of passionate people. While we are growing rapidly, we are also selective: We’re seeking inspired, talented people who want to be part of a team effecting profound change and who have fun doing it.
Department Summary
The Flexible Housing Subsidy Pool (FHSP) is a supportive housing rental subsidy program of the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services (DHS), along with other governmental partners, managed-care organizations, and foundations. The goal of the FHSP is to secure quality affordable housing for extremely vulnerable Angelenos. Brilliant Corners, the central coordinating community-based partner for FHSP, works to secure a broad range of housing options, including individual apartments, blocks of units, and entire buildings. Brilliant Corners identifies and secures units Countywide, provides move-in assistance and rental subsidy disbursements, coordinates with case managers, and assists with neighborhood relations.
Position Summary
Housing Acquisitions Specialists play a key role as members of the FHSP Housing Acquisitions Team.

Using a dynamic set of program incentives (i.e. reduced vacancy loss via holding agreements, a competitive rental subsidy, reduced turnover costs via damage mitigation funding, etc.), the Housing Acquisitions Specialist serves as a one-stop-shop for area landlords to fill their vacancies.
Under the supervision of the FHSP Housing Acquisitions Supervisor, and with support and direction from the FHSP Housing Acquisitions Manager, the Housing Acquisitions Specialist will work to scale the FHSP to meet the audacious goal of housing thousands of formally homeless Angelenos. The position is ideal for a self-starter who is interested in using her/his/their unique skillset to improve rental housing outcomes for both homeless households and property providers alike.
