The End Of Summer Approaches.

Hello readers, here’s what been happening since my last post.  Late one night I was taking out the trash and I noticed a lady in a wheelchair in front of our main entrance. She’s staying at Dunduran Place Nursing home across the street recovering from surgery and she was upset. The lady explained there’s no staff about and she’s lock out of the building.  I don’t like seeing a woman cry so I offered to help by wheeling her to the building and I’ll try to get night staff to open the door for her.  Mission accomplished the lady was grateful and safe in the building.  I was just glad it wasn’t the middle of winter when I found her. 
Recently tenant Dean was going about bragging to other tenants he called the cops on me.  Last week a H.R. police officer knocked on my door while I was in the shower, I told him to wait while I dry off then I invited him in. I asked what this is all about. Apparently Dean made a complaint to the police dept I’m harassing him on this blog site.  I explained to the officer, Dean has taken the comment out of context and it was posted over a year ago. My response totally surprised the officer.  Never the less I wasn’t impressed with the officer’s cocky attitude and I told him so, I assured him I follow Blogger Terms Of Use and I know the legalities. I explained to the officer this blog site is my journal/diary where I express my thoughts by writing them down and I choose to share with the public.  There are millions of bloggers around the world and one inexperienced regional police officer is not going to stop us from posting our thoughts, ideas and opinions on social media. 
This gave me the opportunity to mention to the officer for a year I’ve had to put up with Dean’s verbal/insulting outbursts and I never retaliated.  I told him the KMHC office staff won’t do anything to shut Dean up.  Dean’s mental state and complaint was a waste of police work, the officer was aware and hinted about it.  I'm sure he went back to Dean’s unit and gave him shit for being a pest.  Before the police officer left my unit I asked for his badge number and he complied.   

On Friday we received another love note from the KMHC office. It seems the building is still having boiler issues and this week for two full days we’ll be without hot water.  It’s a good thing I'm a member of the Hamilton-Burlington YMCA I can go there to have a hot shower, shit and shave whenever I want and not worry about boilers blowing up. :P

Last night Dean went to the C.S. to file a complaint. He later comes back to the building arms flapping and freaking out with anger because the front desk police officer told him to get lost and stop bothering them. Way to go H.P.S. :)

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...

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...
