Skeleton Staff

Aww the power of the internet…you gotta love it. :)

Looks like the core of the KMHC office has moved to the UNH’s building and keeping a skeleton staff here.  An informant told me all phone calls to KMHC have been redirected to head office.  To be honest I think this is a good idea. Give the Super a real office of her own and keep the transportation driver/spy camera monitor Debra LaForme in the back room where she belongs. This explains where Ingrid’s been hiding…at head office. I knew it all along I mean where else can they stick the olde broad.  This is good news let Janis and the rest of the staff deal with her.  Mark my words!  In six months everybody will be bitching and hating each other.  Picture this: Janis & Ingrid in a bitch fight, scratching and hair pulling over requisitions & reports not completed all the while Ingrid is shouting “IS THAT A THREAT!!....IS THAT A THREAT!!....this is her paranoid response whenever she’s being questioned.  LOL
I want to explain something about the Super when I first moved in here she & I didn’t jell.  I found her to be cold, moody and at times rude and bossy, that being said I will also say for a woman she knows her job very well and I respect that.  Since I’ve been here I heard questions and jokes about her sexual orientation and many times I’d shake my head and say “Who really gives a shit!”  Over the weekend I ran into the Super and her family at the local discount store. It’s nice that she took the time to say hi to me and in return I said hello to her mom. Gosh! You can really see the family resemblance in the Porter clan. :)
Tenant Spencer bought a huge wall mirror at the thrift store and asked me if I would pick it up for him.  You know me I’m always there for a fellow tenant. This sucker was heavy and I managed to get it home despite we just had a heavy snow storm.
The UNH’s maintenance crew was at the building shoveling the snow over the weekend, the driver with the snow plow attachment has to be careful he was going quite fast pushing the snow down the narrow driveway. Jeezus! I thought he was going to hit the side of the building.  Slow down Dude…the beer store will still be open when you’re done. :P

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...

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...

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...
