KMHC Tenants Petition Have Been Denied

A few weeks ago I was asked by a fellow tenant to sign a petition to put the park bench back in front of the building.  After reading the petition I signed it. Yesterday all tenants received a response from the petition, an unsigned two page letter with a copy of the petition from Urban Native Homes Inc. I also noticed 75% tenant signatures on the petition.
“Request to put the park bench back in it’s original place has been denied”.
I didn’t plan on making a blog about this issue but since UNH’s delivered a letter under my door then it deserves a response on my blog site. The park bench has been helpful in many ways. It’s a place where one can sit and relax and collect their thoughts or chat or rant with a fellow neighbor or to rest after a day of errands etc. The elderly tenants feel safe when near the building.  I can remember when former tenant Danny Joseph was being evicted by HSC Ingrid Nosel. Danny was visibly upset and I sat next to him, comfort him on the park bench as he sobbed away.
Also just before tenant Loretta died she & I would sit together on a sunny day on the park bench and chat about anything. Loretta told me due to her cancer the sunshine will give her vitamin D which she needed. Her will to live was remarkable even though she knew she was going to die she never gave up. During her illness she also mentioned the KMHC office sent her a complaint letter over some minor infraction.  Heartless bitches in the KMHC office.
I find the excuses UNH’s gave in regard to the park bench are lame but this is not my dispute.  It’s up to my fellow tenant to proceed to the next step if they choose to.

What the KMHC building needs is safety railings for the outside entrance where the park bench use to be and for the hallways. This issue was brought up once at a tenant meeting the response from HSC Ingrid “We have no money!” At the time I thought “Really! No money! Then you and Janis get out there and raise the money, I don’t care if you two have to stand at the corner of Emerald & King late at night to get it!”.   LOL.....when I think about it now I doubt Ingrid & Janis could raise enough for bus fare home.  :D

Tenant meeting scheduled for Sept 30, 2013…Who will show up...only time will tell. ;)

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...
