Department Summary

The Los Angeles Supportive Housing LASH/NSP program manages Brilliant Corners owned or sponsored homes and apartments. We take a "Housing First" approach to homelessness by providing functional and affordable housing to facilitate healing and self-improvement. We endeavor to meet residents "where they are at" and walk the delicate line between the rights of individuals versus the rights of others, by providing affordable housing along with services to permanently break the cycle of homelessness. Our residents come to us often with substance abuse, mental illness, complex co-occurring disorders or have experienced years and sometimes decades of homelessness. Our homes meet the unique needs of formerly homeless men, women, and families. Our model is designed for program management staff to collaborate with supportive services staff to reach the common goal of resident housing stability. In addition, we work closely with the Brilliant Corners Property Related Tenant Services team, and other community service agencies to provide as much support as possible to ensure residents maintain permanent housing. The portfolio currently includes 16 properties under WBHC Los Angeles Supportive Housing (LASH) and Ramsgate Supportive Housing (RSH) with other multi-family affordable building projects in the works.
