The Director Of Urban Native Homes Inc.

Urban Native Homes Inc. Director

Last year when I met this woman in the community room I respectfully greeted her as Ms. Lewis and she freaked out I couldn't believe it Chad and Cheryl were also in the room which made it a awkward moment. Where I come from when one doesn’t know the woman’s marital status you address them as "Ms."  I don't know what was wrong with her so I thought “It's probably PMS ” so from that point on whenever I ran into her I addressed her as Mrs. Deeley. 
We don’t see the Director around here very often she keeps her distance from the tenants and the building plus ever since I sent her an invite to this blog website 6 months ago she avoids me.  I assume she’s pissed off and doesn't like Koo Gaa Da Win Manitou Housing Complex to be scrutinized.  In retaliation she made up a fake profile aka Travestybrant then sent me numerous vulgar messages. Ha! She made so many slip ups in her writings and insults I soon figured out who she was. *Her messages have been archived*  She also had the junior staff write me up on two minor infractions (which I refer to as nit-picking) and was reluctant to renew my lease.  To be honest I expected this sort of reaction I mean when I first saw her she reminded me of someone from the wrong side of the tracks and let’s face it she’s no oil painting. :P
 If I was to ask a few questions to the Director in front of all the board members it would be “What is your real objective for KMHC and do you think you've done a good job?

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...

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...

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...
