Our project management approach helps to ensure financially feasible solutions are appropriate and suitable for each community. NHA Advisors excels at distilling complex concepts for staff, policy makers or community stakeholders.
Over the last decade, NHA has been ranked as one of the Top 3 most active advisors to California cities by number of bond financings completed*.

Total financing amounts alone do not demonstrate the qualifications of a municipal advisor. Our work experience includes difficult challenges stemming from bankruptcy, financial workouts, natural disasters (earthquake, flood, fire, drought), utility rate challenges, voter initiatives and covenant violations.
