FROM THE NAFOA NAVIGATOR: <\/EM><\/div>\r\n<div class=\"h5-responsive sub\">SECTION 105(I) LEASES: A POWERFUL FINANCING TOOL FOR NATIVE AMERICA<\/div>\r\n<strong>By Caitlin Caldwell, Vice President, Public Finance Investment Banking, KeyBank Capital Markets <\/strong>\r\n<P><\/P>\r\nFinancial security is a <a href=https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/nafoa\/image\/upload\/v1664725297\/Conference\/Fall-2022\/Navigator_Fall_2022_Dig.pdf>critical pillar to support a tribe\u2019s sovereignty<\/a>; one that is challenging to uphold in unsettled times. In today\u2019s economic landscape that depicts both uncertainty and possibility, Section 105(l) leases offer hope for opportunity.\r\n<P><\/P>\r\nTogether with market participants, KeyBank has vetted the possibility of long-term financing that could be repaid and, potentially, secured by 105(l) leases. We believe this tool could be a powerful revenue stream for tribes and tribal organizations. Importantly, this tool is not dependent on the entity\u2019s size or financial strength. We encourage Native America to explore opportunities to leverage this new and powerful tool.\r\n<P><\/P>\r\nSimply put, 105(l) leases are long-term funding agreements between tribes\/tribal organizations and the BIA or IHS, in which the federal agency \u2018leases\u2019 facility space that is actively used to support programs, services, functions, and activities assumed by a tribe or tribal organization under ISDEAA. \r\n<P><\/P>\r\nTo date, there has been considerable discussion about what exactly 105(l) leases are, how tribes and tribal organizations can apply for them, and how the annual lease compensation figure is agreed upon. The next step is to leverage this revenue stream to support the immense backlog of infrastructure needs in Native American communities\r\n<P><\/P>\r\n<a class=\"btn btn-primary btn-block\" href=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/nafoa\/image\/upload\/v1664725297\/Conference\/Fall-2022\/Navigator_Fall_2022_Dig.pdf\" role=\"button\">Continue Reading in the NAFOA Navigator (pg 125-126)<\/a>\r\n<p><\/p><div class=\"mt-1 mb-1\"><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-layout=\"in-article\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-8411603009680747\" data-ad-slot=\"6394965691\"><\/ins><script>(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});<\/script><\/div>\r\n<P><\/P>\r\n<div class=\"h5-responsive sub\"><EM>5.
