Ingrid N. The Final Chapter Pt 1

Continuing with the comments made in my previous post:

On the afternoon of April 2, 2012 I ran into Ingrid at the front entrance and I personally told her "Someone doesn't like you there's serious allegations written about you in my blog, you should read it"  then I turned and walked away.   This is her opportunity to speak up but she never posted a comment in her defense, no phone call, no knock on the door to talk...nothing.  Communication it's a wonderful thing, without communication disputes cannot be resolved.  Ingrid's inaction and unwilling to speak for herself....raised a red flag.
I have no idea why UNH's keeps her here perhaps it’s out of pity or that nobody else wants the job.  The woman has been here since day one but she’s getting on in years, she looks miserable, frail, haggard and Anonymous has a point about Ingrid’s mental faculties I’ve noticed flaws in her decision making and her judgement is impaired.  18 months ago I filed an e-mail complaint about her to the Director. 
UNH's listen up.....we need someone who’s open, energetic, vibrant, experienced and willing to get out there and do what the job requires and to understand that urban Natives are unique some of us have our own code of ethics and won’t be subjugated.

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...

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...
