Boring Tenant Meeting


When former employee Denise M. informed me the office doesn’t like me to eat their food I thought "K-M can shove the food up their ass". At the last moment I decided I'm going to attend the tenant meeting I showed up just as it was about to begin and I brought my own coffee. The meeting started off with a glitch there were papers being shuffled about and the tenants didn’t know what was what.  Soon after Lorraine B. began by asking if we had questions about the previous meeting, if course nobody said a word who gives a shit what was said 3 months ago.
The Super did a good presentation in regards to maintenance and was willing to answer all questions and the olde gal was demoted to record the proceedings.
What was on the agenda you ask?  For me there was nothing of real importance or interest with the exception of sport tickets that may be available from time to time.  Lorraine B. went on about about rules and don’t do this and don’t touch that and don't look there and we’re watching you etc. *Rolls Eyes* 
I cornered her on a few questions where she just looked at me like a deer staring at car headlights.  I swear UNH’s you’re making this woman anal retentive.
Like Holy Moses said "It's the same old shit every meeting and nothing ever changes" and he's been a tenant 4 years. Which reminds me when I first arrived here Ingrid said at our interview "it's mandatory that all show up for tenant meetings" I later questioned this rule I examined my lease and handbook, I asked around and no such rule exists. BUSTED! See Ingrid this is what happens when you bullshit.
The tenants - You gotta love these people most don’t take the meeting seriously and are only there for the food.  LOL
*High Fives* to Mr. Gerry B. he’s an easy going outreach worker who's always ready to talk about the native ways, it’s too bad he’s here for a short time. 
The best part of the meeting was at the end, this is when I helped myself to what was left on the food table, mind you the food was cold.  You wait…I’ll be getting a letter under my door from the office complaining I ate the food they bought at the day old section at Food Basics. :P

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...

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...
