Organization Overview

Founded in 2004, Brilliant Corners provides innovative housing and housing-related services to those transitioning from or at risk of homelessness or institutionalization. We develop, own, and manage multi-family supportive housing and licensed residential care homes. Additionally, 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, veteran 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.

SUMMARY

Brilliant Corners is seeking a Staff Analyst to work on harm reduction programs, in collaboration with health and justice partners, aimed at improving health and well being of Los Angeles residents with lived experience of substance use, sex work, justice system engagement and those experiencing homelessness or who are formerly homeless. 

Harm Reduction services play a critical role in the health and wellness of DHS patients and the people served by DHS programs. Harm Reduction services are evidence-based, population health interventions are the best method of preventing overdose deaths and reducing the transmission of HIV/ AIDS and Hepatitis C. Harm Reduction services get overdose medication and safe drug consumption supplies into the hands of people who need them. In addition to saving lives, addressing health equity and improving health and wellness, the services also build on the dignity and humanity of people who use drugs or are engaged in sex work and welcome them into a community of care.

The Harm Reduction Division coordinates the Department of Health Services’ existing harm reduction efforts and leads an expansion of services. The services help address the overdose mortality crisis and reduce physical and behavioral health disparities among DHS patients, particularly for people who use drugs, people engaged in sex work, people with justice system involvement and people experiencing homelessness.

This Staff Analyst will provide oversight of a pilot contingency management program designed to support program participants with making positive behavioral changes to prevent them from losing their housing and to improve their overall health outcomes. When implemented as a continuum of harm reduction programming, contingency management programs have effectively demonstrated a decrease in harmful behaviors associated with stimulant drug use. The Staff Analyst will develop policies and procedures for the program, support the development of participant selection criteria and oversee the evaluation of the project.
