While my Travois colleagues in Kansas City undoubtedly count the Royals’ World Series win as the highlight from 2015, I took a different route when I reflected on the past 12 months.

While one Maine tribe recently completed rehabilitating its first housing project, another will soon begin a new one in the same county, both helped by awards of Affordable Housing Program (AHP) funds.

2015 was a landmark year for Travois, and we hope for many of you. We celebrated our 20th anniversary, and our clients had milestone achievements — most notably the highest pricing ever paid to a tribal project ($1.

Is climate change the gravest threat the world has ever faced or the greatest business opportunity of the 21st century? Both, it appears.

Did you know that you can influence the criteria states consider when evaluating Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) applications to help increase tribal projects’ competitiveness?

It’s only been two weeks since Bryan Schuler shared the good news of three recent Affordable Housing Program (AHP) awards for our clients from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines. Today, I am pleased to share one more.

‘Tis the season to celebrate! Three clients recently received the happy news that their projects were awarded an allocation of Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTCs). Congratulations to Washoe Housing Authority, Turtle Mountain Housing Authority, and Mille Lacs Corporate Ventures.

What a fun year 2015 has been!

The holidays and the new year are just around the corner, and that means it’s a perfect time for reflection. This year, I am giving thanks for the opportunity to work with amazing clients all around the country.

It’s no secret that soft money is drying up for affordable housing projects. There are more developers chasing fewer resources, thereby increasing competition.
