Community Room Is Closed


The image you see above is a photocopy.  There is no signature from the housing outreach workers or the housing service coordinator Ingrid because they don't want to be held accountable.  But observe the UNH's logo on the top left corner this will confirm its authenticity.
Remember in January I received a letter stating I'm banned from HOW programs and my reaction was similar to "I don't give a shit!"  Well folks judging by the note that is posted on the bulletin boards this afternoon the KMHC office staff are up to their old tricks by closing down the recreational room for reasons unknown and the KMHC tenants are left in the dark.  This means no computer access for tenants who use it, no watching the big screen TV, no arts & crafts or sewing circle and no area for tenants to socialize in the KMHC building.  I really don't understand UNH's logic, seems like it's a tactic for tenants to feel unwelcome and move out.  I feel sorry for the Native elders who use the community room on a regular basis, during the extreme cold weather conditions there is not much the elders can do but sit in their unit.  I consider HOW Lynda Jones a useless Hobbit for not standing up for the tenants, surly she can see this is not a good idea or perhaps she's too afraid of being thrown under the bus by HSC Ingrid if she speaks out. 
It's time for the KMHC tenants to stop complaining among themselves when something is wrong and really make a difference by implementing a form of action.  UNH's discontinued the tenant meeting because they don't want to hear our voices.  I say: send a letter of protest to the UNH's Director if she won't listen there is always the news media.  United We Stand Strong!

Positive news - Thanks to little Debbie for the delicious banana nut cakes, it was a nice surprise.  :)

Here's a scoop: for weeks the UNH's website is down and offline. I wonder who or what they are hiding from.  :P

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 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...

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...
