Urban Native Homes Inc. What Are You Thinking?

There is one issue at the tenant meeting that hit a nerve; The Super announced that during the annual inspection there will no longer clean and vacuum under the appliances.  Being that I’m a capable guy I can move and clean my own appliances but where does this leave the other tenants who are alone, older, sick, handicapped, frail or mentally challenged?  I feel bad for my fellow tenants these people don't have the money to hire a cleaning service to help.
Mark my words this place will fall apart in a matter of years and next year the staff will be bitching at the tenants because the units are not sanitary and let's not forget cockroaches, silverfish and mice love to hide behind and under dirty appliances.  I suggest to avoid this from happening the Super and her assistant continue with the cleaning along with the inspection, she has the experience and knows how to move the fridge and stove efficiently and avoid any damage to the unit/apt. 
So there you have it folks, UNH’s is getting lazy.

What's interesting during the last unit inspection I spoke to Darryl the head maintenance guy about cleanliness around the appliances, he said UNH's is not concerned about that, all they want to know....are the appliances working ok.

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...

The Ladies of KMHC

I & friend Teresa Last week I attended a program host by NWC Hamilton, it was there I met up with six female tenants of KMHC.   It was nice to see the ladies again I was greeted with hugs and smiles.   The program was Holistic teachings by Jane Burning she spoke about the Creator and positive thinking.   I enjoyed the presentation though it was a wee bit long.   During lunch break I had the chance to chat with the KMHC tenants to find out how’s life going at KMHC.   Things haven’t improved most tenants don’t like each other and there’s a lot of negative energy in the building.   I offered a sympathetic ear and didn’t judge as they shared their stories. The big problem with KMHC is tenant Aunt Opie and I’m glad she didn’t attend the NWC program.   You may recall I spoke of her in past blogs, aunt Opie’s negativity spreads throughout KMHC.   She brags about sending false complaint e-mails about tenants and staff to Justin the head direc...

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...
