A Futile Attempt At Intimidation

Well my friends today I received a harsh letter from a Elizabeth Repchuck of Gain HR on behalf of Urban Native Homes Inc. requesting I stop posting comments on this blog site in regards to Koo Gaa Da Win Manitou Housing Complex.  Just so everybody knows the company Gain HR is not a law firm nor is Elizabeth Repchuck a lawyer.
This site “Native Housing” was originally created as a form to semi privately vent my frustrations and to express my compliments and complaints about the place I reside.  Before this site was created I’ve sent many complaint and concern e-mails to the Director of Urban Native Homes Inc. and never got a response back.
Up yours Elizabeth Repchuck! I’m exercising my right under the Constitutional law of Canada “The Freedom of Expression Act” Section 2(b) of the Charter states that "Everyone has the following fundamental freedoms: ... freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression.
If your client can’t handle hard criticism and sarcastic humor then tell them not to enter my site because my Native Housing blog will continue on.  I would also suggest you and your client read all my posts dated back to July 24/2010 and do some brainstorming on how to improve the atmosphere at this place.
To show that I’m a reasonable man I’ll comply with your request, for a limited time I will not name and shame the fuck ups.
Oh and one last thing Elizabeth...after reading your letter I've decided to post the Native Housing link on Twitter and Facebook.   I don't know if your client will shake your hand or slap you for your efforts.

Have a great weekend everybody and don't accept junk mail from Fedex. :)

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...

Koo Gaa Da Win Manitou

I hope one day we can truly say there is a haven where older natives who experienced homelessness can find a place to call home and have the resources available for the best quality of life in their golden years. Koo Ga Da Win Manitou Housing Complex has a long journey in order to reach that goal. Perhaps more funding is needed or better trained/experienced outreach workers who can relate to tenants concerns and health issues. Programs that would interest all tenants as a whole would be nice. Most important we tenants must try to get along with their neighbours. (as the good book says "Love thy neighbour") I've been here less then a year and I've observed alot, we have a diversity of tenants living in the building from different reservations and walks of life. Some have problems with alcohol, prescription drug addictions, physical disabilities and slight mental disabilities. The one thing we all have in common is our health concerns, from chronic back pain to deadly...

Wigwamin Terrace

After many years I received a call for Toronto Native Housing offering a vacancy so I decided to explore my options by attending a viewing of what's available. But first I did a phone interview with acting project manager Paul Feitelberg. He said my personal and financial information checks out fine then we talked about the negative reference I got from Ontario Aboriginal Housing Services. I was asked for my side of the story and I also invited Paul to read this blog site to find out more who I am.  A few days later I called Paul for an update, I was complimented on my blog posts and he could see the love and compassion I have for the Native people on this blog site.  Due to the Hamilton cyber attack it was difficult for Paul get a reference from my current housing provider so with my assistance I helped him get in contact with their office. I received an excellent tenant reference from my housing provider. When I asked about OAHS he said he's going to ignore their negative re...
