Tenant Committee

Yesterday afternoon I dropped by the Community room to say hello and three self appointed members of the tenant committee were present so I asked how many members are in their little group and what's on the agenda for Friday. :)  The response from Teresa in a sarcastic tone "You have to show up to find out, we're not saying!" I thought "Listen Woman! I don't have to show up anywhere if I don't want to"....what a complete turn off. :-( 
I said in that case I won’t be attending I have my own platform in expressing my points of view and most of the time I get results.  Then someone mentioned my blog then we all got into it, Teresa doesn’t like her name mentioned in this blog I looked at her and said “When was the last time I mentioned you?  Let’s face it you’re not interesting enough" then she shut up.  Holy Moses said the KM office has spoken to the cops about my blogs.  My reply: So Big Fuckin Deal!..there's no illegal activity written here, the cops has never knocked on my door with a subpoena or warrant.  The irony is two of these three tenants are the biggest gossip mongers in the building and believe it or not they're computer illiterate they don't even know how to get access to this blog site yet they claim they know so much. :P  Oh Well, I know who's been talking shite to them and to the other tenants and it isn't me.  Hamilton Native Housing blog site is fast approaching 8,000 pageviews, if the committee loose the "attitude" and had any intelligence they’d figure out I could help in fundraising and organizing events from this blog via the internet. I mean their last fundraiser collected a measly $125.00 that was pathetic. The committee needs a good strategic plan in marketing and advertising.
I predict this so called tenant committee dissolving very soon. :)

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...

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...
