KMHC & The Weather

Not only is the HSC’s attitude cold now the KMHC staff can’t or won’t make it to work because of the cold weather.  Jeezus! We’re Canadians we’re use to the cold, get over it!  So where does this leave KMHC tenants.  Well so far this morning I’ve seen tenant Janis struggle to get into a cab so she can make it to the hospital for dialysis treatment. Tenants waiting for the community room to open so they can use the computer and check the weather report. Tenants standing around the office entrance waiting to talk to staff. And the worst is the recycling bins have over flown and started to stink up the hallway. This place has gone down the toilet and we can thank HSC Ingrid Nosel for the decline.  Now if we had a superintendent in the building he could update the tenants on what services will be available for the day…but Noooo!  They had to fire the last one and leave the Native Elders who rely on KMHC to their own devices. :P
I wasn’t going to mention this in my blog but I’ve changed my mind. On Christmas Eve morning the staff delivered gifts to all tenants from anonymous gift givers from the Hamilton/Burlington area. Most tenants didn’t know about the delivery because the staff failed to inform them prior. I ran into fellow tenant Keith at the mall and told him to rush to the building to get his gifts, it was going on noon and the office will be closing for the holidays. I walked ahead of Keith and saw KMHC staff Lynda Jones & Debra LaForme warming up the car and ready to drive off. I asked the ladies would they wait a few minutes so Keith can get his Christmas gifts he’s coming up the street.  They smiled and said sure, I turned my back, walked to the building and they drove off.  Those bitches couldn’t wait 2 mins. I felt bad for Keith he knocked on the office door in vain hoping to get his gifts.  He’d have to wait until the following Monday.  During the holidays there are times when one must be patient and consider the other person I didn’t see that in Lynda and Debra all they wanted to do is get the fuck out of here.  I’m totally disappointed in them.  :-(

On behave of the KMHC tenants I would like to thank the anonymous Christmas gift givers of Hamilton/Burlington area. I got a kick out of the handmade Christmas cards from the children...they were very sweet.  :)


So there you have it folks…2014 begins

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...

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 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...
