The Cloudburst Group is a mission-driven Women-Owned Small Business focused on improving social, economic, and environmental resilience in the U.S. and across the globe. We have an ambitious goal: strengthen community and government capacity to address vulnerability, build resilience, and create lasting impact when responding to development challenges.

Across seven practice areas, our teams work to prevent and end homelessness; increase the reach of community development; expand economic development opportunities; increase environmental compliance and sustainability; secure land and property rights; enhance food security; advance democracy, human rights, and governance; empower women, youth, indigenous, and other underrepresented populations; and promote public and behavioral health interventions. To these ends, our teams work to collect and analyze data; monitor and evaluate programs; communicate promising and evidence-based practices; and provide outcomes-focused training and technical assistance.

Since our founding in 2005, the Cloudburst Group has grown to a staff of approximately 80 full-time professionals, complemented by a cadre of long-term and short-term consultants and partner organizations. We serve a growing number of clients in a variety of fields. Our clients include the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMSHA), along with other federal agencies, state and local governments, and private sector and non-profit organizations. 

Across our practice areas, our teams provide services to federal, state, and local governments as well as private sector and non-profit organizations.
