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 effecting profound change and who have fun doing it.

The Supportive Housing Management department manages Brilliant Corners' portfolio of owned real estate which provides housing and services to various vulnerable populations. The largest part of the portfolio consists of single-family homes that house previously institutionalized people with developmental disabilities. Other programs consist of multifamily or scattered site housing serving formerly homeless and/or developmentally disabled, individuals and families.

The Maintenance Technician provides maintenance services to Brilliant Corners' growing portfolio of single-family homes used as Care Homes for individuals with developmental disabilities and other housing models serving vulnerable populations. Maintenance Technician works directly with our Property Management Team, residents, partners and vendors to ensure each property is maintained according to Brilliant Corners' and funders' standards. Must have a flexible approach to carrying out job responsibilities, be a good problem solver, and enjoy providing great customer service that benefits a diverse population of people needing special housing supports.
