Tenant Meeting Minutes April 25 2012

This afternoon we received the written report from the last tenant meeting, after reading it I notice there are discrepancies and a few facts omitted from the report, I should know I was there.
Attending the meeting I was impressed with the two tenants who came up with excellent suggestions and voiced their complaints and concerns and I could see the staff squirming under the pressure.
The tenant who came up with the “Passing Stones” idea for tenants who died met with opposition, the acting HSC said this might infringe on confidentiality. I thought "What are you talking about WOMAN!  Whenever there's a social function there you are taking pictures of tenants without their permission and use the photos for exploitation and propaganda and you have the nerve to say that!"  If there is to be any disapproval from the families of the deceased, they would point and say “It’s a nice gesture from the tenants but due to UNH's reputation we don’t want any affiliation.” :P
The acting HSC wrote in the report:  in the hallway tenants can talk on their phones and walk their pets as long as they don’t disturb others. What a contradiction!  The walls are thin in this building and sound travels right through the tenant's door from the hall, at night if you’re not on heavy medication (such as I) you can hear everything this is annoying when one wants peace & quiet.
Once again the CCTV come to focus, somebody complained a pet is pissing in the hallway and the office will use the CCTV to find the culprit.  My question: what happens after?  Does the acting HSC issue a N7 eviction notice to the pet or give the tenant a mop.  *Rolls Eyes* :P
I’m aware KMHC has to produce written reports to show they’re doing something useful around here but let’s keep it real, if I want to read fiction I’ll go to the library.

June 20, 2012 - I wasn't going to attend today's tenant meeting but my medical lab appt. was postponed so what the hell I decided to show up. The tenant meeting actually went well for a change, Lorraine has improved as moderator and Charles just sits in the background and the acting HSC didn't show up.

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...

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

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...
