Another One Bites The Dust

A few days ago the tenants received a note that KMHC Outreach Worker Charles Jacobs has left the building. After reading the letter I would suspect he left unexpectedly and now UNH’s is looking for a replacement. It’s not fair on HOW Lynda Jones who now has to work twice as hard but Hey! That’s how UHN’s operates. Charles & I got along well he earned my respect some time ago when I was upset over Gerimaine’s death. He offered his support.

I would describe Charles as a quiet family man who did his job, during smoke breaks he would sit outside text messaging whoever and kept to himself. During the drama I had with HSC Ingrid Nosel at Christmas time I could tell he was put in a awkward position due to Ingrid’s childish tantrum. “Sorry Tony, Ingrid said you don’t get a gift card” In turn I replied to Charles “That’s Ok! It’s not your fault” and I patted him on shoulder. In reality I was thinking Ingrid can shove the gift card up her fat ass I really don’t care.

A lot of good KMHC employees came and went ie: Lorraine, Charles, Jan, Stephanie, Joseph, Jan, Jerry and others yet we’re still stuck with Ingrid. Ho Hum! :(

Other news: They did some construction at the basement level, finally the maintenance crew made a door big enough for Ingrid to get through. LOL

I just saw the exterminator and can smell the bug spray in the hallway.. you know what that means. Yikes! :(

There is a lot of unhappy tenants in the KMHC building they all have there own beefs about this place. As for me as long as the office doesn’t bug me with their asinine policies I have no problem at this time.
My community work: After a long cold snowy wet winter I got out my squeegee & pail and washed the windows for all the tenants on my floor. I've been doing this since I moved here and the tenants appreciate my good deed. I feel sorry for the other tenants on the upper floors because UNH's does not wash windows. UNH's would rather issue N5 eviction notices. :P

June is Aboriginal month, to all bloggers & readers check out the events in your area. Not all of us Indians are wild. :D

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 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...

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
