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...

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
