NHA Advisors provides targeted funding solutions to our public agency clients in a way that is digestible to both policy makers and stakeholders. Bringing years of experience, NHA Advisors is qualified to identify the needs, financial constraints and options for any public agency. Many public agency clients have engaged NHA Advisors for financial planning, analysis/modeling, negotiations, public education, continuing disclosure and general “extensive of staff” support.
NHA Advisors provides consulting services related to each of our practice areas. We are constantly expanding our consulting services based on the needs of our public agency clients and continuous requests for assistance.
Our Infrastructure and Facilities Group works with public agencies to deliver optimal financial solutions for funding capital projects. We take a holistic approach to identifying the most efficient and optimal funding solution, starting with a high-level analysis to quickly understand project constraints and feasibility to develop a magnitude analysis that provides the critical information necessary to move forward. Often, this high-level analysis is the most efficient way to educate client staff and policy makers on the potential impacts on stakeholders and allows for full transparency and early identification of unrealistic projects.
Our Utilities Group provides financial planning and funding solutions for water, sewer, power, storm drain, and other enterprise projects. The Utility Group’s expertise includes holistic funding plans for capital projects, rate modeling support, financial projections, and credit analysis. NHA pursues diverse and creative ways to fund public finance projects, including grants, SRF and WIFIA loans, traditional bonds, pay for performance loans, and leveraging other State financing programs. The underlying objective of our comprehensive funding approach is to balance the lowest cost of funds with long term rate management.
Our Post Issuance Compliance Group provides ongoing reporting, guidance, and education to help our clients navigate an ever-changing regulatory landscape and alleviate this burden on agency staff. NHA’s multi-tiered quality review and reporting process provides stability to help ensure consistent and compliant disclosure. In addition, NHA’s search engine processing software actively monitors rating agency websites and media publications for rating changes and other key investor decision points to help ensure timely disclosure of event notices.
Our Policy Development Group works with public agencies to develop reserve, debt management, and continuing disclosure policies as well as capital improvement funding strategies. A sound public policy practice includes the consideration of both current and future stakeholders based on financial metrics, programs, and organizational constraints. Drawing from our experience, we apply real-life examples from other public agencies to serve as the foundation for the development of new policies.
