Program Summary

The Sacramento Flexible Housing Pool (FHP) is a new countywide initiative led by Brilliant Corners in partnership with the Sacramento County Department of Homeless Services and Housing (DHSH). The program provides a centralized system to help individuals experiencing or at risk of homelessness quickly access and maintain permanent housing.

In its first year, FHP will serve at least 250 households enrolled in the County’s Behavioral Health Bridge Housing (BHBH) Program — adults experiencing homelessness who also live with serious mental illness (SMI) or substance use disorder (SUD). Through rental subsidies, housing navigation, tenancy supports, and landlord engagement, FHP connects people to stable housing while offering the supports needed to prevent returns to homelessness. By braiding multiple funding streams, including CalAIM, BHSA, PATH CITED, and others, FHP is designed to grow over time into Sacramento County’s primary rehousing pathway, ensuring equitable access to housing and long-term stability for the community’s most vulnerable residents.
