The Beginning Of The End

Friendships don’t always last especially when one physically attacks the other. Tenant Dean K. and I were friends almost from the time he moved in the building. We’ve had many personal conversations and hung out as buddies, I've gotten to know the guy I’m aware he has a mental disability.  On Friday afternoon something happened that was totally out of character.  He came up to me while I was talking to a female tenant and in a fit of rage he elbowed me on the chest. My first reaction was to punch him back then I realized he’s a victim of a car accident, suffers brain damage and for medical reasons has a metal plate to protect his head. I was angry and demanded an explanation he responded by shouting obscenities. There was no reasoning with the guy.  
After thinking about it I decided to call the police.  Most of the altercation was caught on camera. From experience I found out sending a complaint letter to the KMHC office about another tenant doesn’t guarantee results so it was best the police look into it.  My objective was not to get Dean charged with assault, but to warn him not to talk or ever touch me again. I gave the police and KMHC a copy of my incident letter.  I realize tenants don’t always get along but when it gets physical that’s a whole new ballgame. 
I hope KMHC office have a talk to Dean about his bad behavior perhaps seek counseling and how to address his anger issues. He’s been ranting about other tenants for some time.

Until next time…be safe

Today HPC officer/badge # 1237 who investigated the incident dropped by my unit to give me an update. Unfortunately the cameras did not record the incident due to the angle of the lens. She did tell me Deano admitted to the assault. In his defence he claims I hit him on the back at the library. Oddly the last time I saw him at the library was about a month ago I approached him, patted him on the shoulder and said “How’s it going buddy!” Anyway we made a verbal agreement not to communicate with each other. Now I don’t have to listen to him whine the next time he gets robbed by feeling up street hookers.

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 End Is Here

Urban Native Homes Inc. will no longer exist.   Today and tomorrow Ciy of Hamilton/Ontario Aboriginal Housing Human Resources Dept. are interviewing UNH staff and other applicants in the community room.   Who will be rehired and who will be fired!   I just hope they choose wisely. Tonight I heard Christine Lenze, her mother Ingrid Nosel and the rest of their family and friends has left UNH. This evening before I left for the gym I ran into receptionist Melissa Wissner in the hallway.   She was waiting for her job interview and had a message for me from former UNH caseworker Crystal Mackenzie.  Crystal wishes me good luck and it was a pleasure working with me.  I was surprised by the message and I wish her the best too. :) My blog site has accomplished what I started out to do some years ago by publicly outing the mismanagement of Urban Native Homes Inc.  It's been a long arduous journey. I would like to thank anonymous and the others for thei...

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...
