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. :)

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 Passing of Dean King

There's not many original KMHC tenants left that I know, last week I got word tenant Dean King passed away, we were not related and I remember when he moved in the building we got along well, we hung out often and he shared stories about his life and family. Eventually I notice he wasn't the sharpest pencil in the drawer and I started drifting away thus ended our friendship. Dean didn't have the usual addictions most male aboriginals endure he didn't drink or do drugs the problem was his mental state which I believe began after an auto accident years before. After I moved out of KMHC I'd often see him standing in line at the food bank in Gore Park in downtown Hamilton or hanging out with street friend Galina in Jackson Square food court. He didn't have many friends and other KMHC tenants just tolerated and accepted his strange behavior. He'd walk the streets looking disheveled and lost. When I received the news Dean died I didn't feel sad I felt surpri...

Sandy Holland

On February 27th 2025 I heard the passing of tenant Elder Sandy Holland. I knew she was in bad health and said to her friend she's ready to go. I met her years ago when she moved to KMHC she seem a bit daffy yet in a nice way, never spoke mean about others but had strong opinions about UNH staff. We would meet at UNH dinner functions and meetings and always offered me hug. She never got personal sharing her life stories with me which I can respect. RIP
