If It's Not Broken, Why Fix It!

With new tenants and staff arriving at KMHC in early 2013 I was expecting the unexpected and I was not disappointed. The top issue with tenants, KMHC took away the park bench it's been located in front of the entrance since this joint opened up and they moved it to the courtyard.  After listening to some concerns from my fellow tenants I can see why they are upset. 
Here’s what UNH’s does best by making tenants and their guests feel unwelcome @ KMHC.  Posting a general notice to all tenants complaining children and adult guests are seen via the security cameras leaving the building unescorted and with keys.  Ha!  HSC Ingrid and Dale S. the sleazy paralegal will both be having an orgasm issuing N5 eviction notices to the elderly and handicapped tenants in this building. :P
As with any housing complex/building not all tenants get along. I don’t talk to Deano anymore the few times I’ve passed him outside the building, I can hear him mumbling incoherently but I choose to ignore the idiot by turning on my MP3 player.  I hear the female tenants are not getting along something to do with gossiping and pets I’m staying out of this one.
A few weeks ago early in the morning I noticed a strange heavy set woman standing in front of the office door so I took the initiative and politely asked ”who are you!” She replied I’m the Administrator Assistant I immediately thought “Ok she’s a secretary…big deal”.  I later found out her name is Sharon.  You know usually UNH’s staff dress appropriately for work but this Administrator Assistant…well….let’s say baggy track pants and wrinkled tops will not pass as office attire.
Guess what folks!  My lease has been renewed for another year. UNH’s had no choice all my documents were in order and I know the HSC Ingrid tried but couldn’t find a loop hole to evict me.  On a personal note I enjoy living in the downtown area, outside of KMHC I’m a pillar of the community, well recognized and liked by many people both on a professional and personal level.

Until next time…play safe. ;)

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...

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...

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...
