Farewell Miss Stephanie Hager

One thing I noticed while being here is Urban Native Homes goes through employees like I go through socks. ie: wear them a few times then toss em in the trash. :P
The latest casualty is Stephanie Hager...a friendly and caring young lady who IMO seems to really want to help the tenants. She's been off on sick leave for a long time and I thought Oh Oh!....I'll bet they will fire her. And Guess what....I would say I'm 99% right. Yesterday around noon I passed the office I noticed Ingrid and her having a heated discussion....then later she was seen leaving the building in tears and carrying her belongings in a box. Like I said in my previous post, morale is low for the staff of Koo Gaa Da Win Manitou.

Farewell Miss Stephanie and may good luck follow your future.

Poor Working Environment

My unit is located near the KMHC office, along with a friendly wave or hello I see the junior staff going about their business in a cheerful manner with the exception of one employee. You would think KMHC has a pleasant working environment but that is not the case. March 2016 is when Urban Native Homes head office was forced to move from their former spacious location to the cramp basement level of KMHC. There were approx. 8-10 staff members at the time. Then the Urban Native Homes financial scandal broke out and soon after the current UNH acting director’s illicit past became public knowledge, everyone was worried will they have a job. Fearful meetings going on in the community room, the rumor mill was in full rotation while I just stood back and observed the panic. Check your search engine it states this building location is Urban Native Homes head office yet that is not correct. There is no real head office, the organization has s...

The End Is Here

Urban Native Homes Inc. will no longer exist. Today and tomorrow Ciy of Hamilton/Ontario Aboriginal Housing Human Resources Dept. are interviewing UNH staff and other applicants in the community room. Who will be rehired and who will be fired! I just hope they choose wisely. Tonight I heard Christine Lenze, her mother Ingrid Nosel and the rest of their family and friends has left UNH. This evening before I left for the gym I ran into receptionist Melissa Wissner in the hallway. She was waiting for her job interview and had a message for me from former UNH caseworker Crystal Mackenzie. Crystal wishes me good luck and it was a pleasure working with me. I was surprised by the message and I wish her the best too. :) My blog site has accomplished what I started out to do some years ago by publicly outing the mismanagement of Urban Native Homes Inc. It's been a long arduous journey. I would like to thank anonymous and the others for thei...

Lock That Door!

FOB A few years ago UNH’s installed electronic door locks on all levels of the KMHC building. There was grumbling from tenants about the inconvenience but soon learn to adapt. Before entry the tenant must have a FOB device to unlock and open the front door. *Similar to the image above* Yeah it’s a pain in the arse when a tenant is carrying groceries and other items. The one thing I like about the FOB lock system is when the building fire alarm is triggered all FOB locked doors electronically swing open. Soon after the FOB lock systems were installed I notice something peculiar. During office hours the basement door was jarred open by the UNH’s staff and I figured out why. UNH staff was too lazy to get up off their seat and physically open the door for their visitors. There is a security camera monitor at the reception desk and a buzzer that opens the main door but Jeezus Come on ladies! Tenant elders are inst...
