Tenant Meeting February 4, 2014

It was a small turnout only eight tenants showed up at the meeting, but I have to admit some interesting concerns came from my fellow tenants. One was why the heating system broke down and what's being done so it won't happen again & why is there so many cameras’ in the building.  Since the camera issue was brought up I had a question of my own. In a calm manner I said there are times when I walk by the office I’d notice a staff member sitting and watching the security monitor in Ingrid's office during the day “what are they looking for?”  This surprised them totally H.O.W. Lynda Jones tried to cover it up by saying it’s none of my concern.  Nice try Lynda. BUSTED!  A red flag just went up.  Ingrid the HSC really put her foot in her mouth this time when she said "I don't have security monitors in my office", the office staff didn't say a word.  It's what I've been saying all along readers.  The HSC is a liar and has the nerve to do it in front of the staff and now her creditability just went down the toilet 
The HSC announced there are 4 units still without heat and she claims they are happy as clams and warm as toast with their little portable heaters. :P
Other topics were gardening and some social event UNH’s will be hosting but you have to buy a ticket.
Lynda gave us the usual warning if you don't stay for our programs then you don't eat our food.  Surprise KMHC your programs Suck!. Which is why I rarely attend .
Finally HOW Lynda asked the tenants do they have any concerns with those who post on the internet. I knew exactly where she was going with this and I jumped right in.  I find it peculiar since this blog site has nothing to do with our tenancy and doesn’t violate the Landlord and Tenant Act of Ontario.Canada.  The good news is my fellow tenants had nothing to complain about. :)   I looked at HOW Lynda and said if you have a problem with this blog site “Don’t read it” she then cut me off and announced meeting adjourned.
After today’s meeting I have a different impression of HOW Lynda Jones.  One of the duties of an Outreach worker is to be an advocate for the tenants.  I don’t see this in her.  Also a few times walking by the office I'd see her with a frown while staring at her computer, either she's having a bad day or the HSC pissed her off.  Ohh Well!  It doesn’t really matter, just like previous KMHC employees she won’t be here long.

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...

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...
