Access To The Internet

A legitimate beef was brought up at the tenant meeting by Holy Moses. His complaint was the computers don’t work properly and need replacement. Since I was banned from using the PC’s in the community room because of this blog site I really don’t give a shit but I will give my 2 cents+.

Lorraine B said because of downloads and certain web pages the machines don’t work. That’s not necessarily so there are many factors why a PC freezes up or is slow. One is age the machines are old model dell computers and require constant rebooting and another is a possible malware/virus in the PC. The anti-virus security software may be outdated and needs an upgrade. Proper maintenance is required cleaning the inside for dust and lint is very important. Cleaning all files in the hard drive and defragment is a must. Finally if all else fails then you will need to reinstall Windows XP operating systems, last year I asked the computer guy about the cost of reinstallation he quoted $100.00. I thought “are you insane!” I could get it reinstalled at a local PC repair shop for $35 bucks. Sheesh

My point is surfing the net for recreational purposes should be fun…tenants don’t need frustration this will only make the person loose interest.

UNH's was listening, they have upgraded the computers in the community room, though I wouldn't use them because the security camera is aimed directly @ the computer table. The staff can see what the tenant is looking at including private e-mail, webpages and sites. Lack of tenant privacy is an issue in this building.

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...
