Korisha Hamblet
Director of Programs, Downtown Los Angeles
Korisha became the Director of Programs at PATH in May 2023, after working for eight years in Permanent Supportive Housing in the Skid Row area. Her journey began in 2015 as a Case Manager for interim housing, followed by positions as an Intensive Case Manager through DHS, Engagement Coordinator, Program Manager, and Associative Director. During the last eight years, Korisha has collaborated with local, county, state, and federal agencies to minimize the impact of housing insecurity. After joining the Skid Row community, she decided to further her education and earned a Master’s degree in Psychology to better serve and empathize with those experiencing mental disorders, cognitive disabilities, as well as a lack of stability and housing. Korisha enjoys walking around the Skid Row community, connecting with friends, and breathing fresh air among like-minded people.
