BOOTH #3 - RESERVED - SILVER SPONSOR - Idaho Health Facilities Authority
|
The Authority was established by the Idaho Legislature in 1972 to issue bonds and notes for the purpose of improving health care for residents of this state by providing less expensive financing for health care institutions. Our mission is to assist eligible governmental and non profit health care providers to obtain and maintain access to low cost, tax-exempt private or public capital market financing.
The Authority sponsors a Technical Assistance Program (TAP) that provides technical assistance for Idaho governmental and non-profit health care providers. Services may be subsidized up to 50% depending on need. This includes areas such as financial analysis, board development, organizational development, legal issues, community surveys, marketing, and strategic planning.
The Authority staff consists of an Executive Director, Associate Executive Director/Controller and an Administrative Assistant. Additionally a team of consulting professionals have been assembled who have expertise and knowledge of capital markets and financing options, federal tax and securities laws, strategic planning assistance, debt capacity analysis and other financial or legal services. The Authority assists borrowers in identifying and approaching potential lenders. The financing team works to custom-fit each financing to meet the varying needs of borrowers and the changing financial marketplace and to continue our long track record of no defaults. When necessary the Authority serves as an advocate for legislative change to ensure that statutory authority is consistent with contemporary financing needs.
The borrowing process concludes with the implementation of the project and the creation and maintenance of proper safeguards which ensure the repayment of debt and are consistent with obligations to bondholders or lenders and the solvency of the facility. The Authority actively monitors the debt and compliance with the convenants contained in the documents and participates as appropriate in trouble situations.
After the closing and throughout the life of the borrowing, the Authority is available to answer questions regarding convenants and provides necessary legal counsel and financial advisor services related to the borrowing at no additional cost. In the event substantial changes to the original documents become necessary, the Authority and its advisors work with the borrower to find the most cost-effective solution available.
Contact: Shelley Shannon, Executive Director, Idaho Health Facilities Authority, P.O. Box 8867, Boise, Idaho 83707, (208) 342-8772 www.idhfa.org.
