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. ;)

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
