UNH’s Maintenance Dept.

On Monday I dropped off a work order/letter to the KMHC office.  I had a minor electrical problem that needed attention.  I was surprised to get a phone call the same day from Teresa Workman at the head office maintenance dept.  I explained in detail the problem and later Darryl Powell showed up for the inspection and on Friday morning young Cody Powless replaced the electrical unit. :)
I have to compliment the UNH’s maintenance staff all three employees were friendly and courteous, It was a great way to start off the weekend.  Happy faces throughout the building from my fellow tenants, even from the office staff, minus the HSC of course. 
I’ve been having fun with all the security cameras recently installed in the building.  When the mood strikes I give a little show I might do a little dance or wiggle my butt or blow kisses at the camera just to piss off the HSC Ingrid   Who knows!  One day I may do a strip tease on camera for her then she can tell John Nosel (her homophobic slurring husband) how much she enjoyed the show.  :D   Who says I don’t have a sense of humor! ;)

It’s been a good day. :)

Wouldn't you know it, as the weekend comes to a close I loose my apt keys at the library. I was so pissed off at myself, I had to call the Maintenance guy Darryl to allow me into my apt. This morning I sent a letter to the KMHC office requesting a replacement set of keys. But it came with a price..yep I have to pay a $25 fee. But hey! That's ok as long as I have my keys back I have no problem with the fee.

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...
