Description

The Cloudburst Group is a unique small business focused on empowering communities to build social, economic, and environmental resilience. For over 15 years, the Homeless Assistance Team (HAT) has been making measurable impacts on homelessness by supporting local communities to:

• Implement evidence-based solutions
• Make smart, data-driven investments
• Provide critical assistance to people impacted by public health emergencies and natural disasters

This position will support the disaster response team's work in supporting communities in responding to public health and natural disasters that impact people experiencing homelessness. As extreme weather and public health events increase in frequency and intensity, many communities are unexpectedly facing disasters they have not navigated in the past. Successful candidates will foster strong partnerships and coordination with local and federal partners. Supporting communities in regular monitoring, intentional preparation, and immediate action when events occur can save the lives of people experiencing homelessness.

There's a lot of work ahead. Cloudburst is seeking to grow our team with people who are passionate about ending homelessness.

We want you on our team if you:

• Are driven by finding solutions that improve the experience of homelessness and outcomes for all people experiencing homelessness.
• Are adept at centering equity and reducing racial disparities in housing outcomes.
• Enjoy collaborating and problem-solving challenging issues with diverse teams and partners.
• Manage projects effectively and efficiently.
