Tenant Meeting Minutes Aug. 22. 2012

As I mentioned in my previous blog titled “Achilles Heel” I was anxious to read the minutes report to see what would be fabricated and omitted on what really was said at the tenant meeting and Ingrid Nosel the acting HSC did not disappoint.  I truly believe this old woman is existing in a world of denial and I have no desire to acknowledge or believe anything she says in the future. To prove my point you readers are getting a scoop, I arranged to have the meeting voice recorded and is safely stored away, my training in security finally paid off. ;)  Tenant meetings at KMHC are sparse and far between so are they necessary?  I don’t think so. ie: The last meeting only 6 out of 24 tenants including myself showed up.  I remember a few years ago Ingrid went so far as to post a notice “Tenant meetings are mandatory and we must attend”. (Ha! That didn’t work)  As I reviewed the report I noticed no tenant names are written anywhere ie: who said what and to whom. To the reader this report would seem vague and uninteresting and would cast doubt on its authenticity.

It’s been over 3 months since we had the last tenant meeting and only today did we get a hand delivered copy of the report.  At this point does anybody care what was said!  *Hell no*  ie: I saw a fellow tenant immediately put the form on top of the fridge and forget about it.
TK tenant policy: Since the Acting HSC won’t attend future meetings then I recommend the rest of the tenants do the same. Can you imagine staff members Charles and Linda would be sitting in the community room twiddling their thumbs in a empty room then Charles would start calling tenants and dragging them down to the meeting as they are kicking and screaming in protest. :D
Speaking of staff members After Ingrid Nosel walked out of the last meeting we continued on and I remember one thing former HOW Lorraine Brown said about the HOW's and it helped me understand their job position and limitations.

On other news!

Sadly I have to say goodbye to fellow tenant Bonnie Hill after experiencing so much shit going on at KMHC she’s decided to get the fuck out of here.  The good thing is we’ll keep in touch via Facebook and I wish her all the luck in to world.

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...
