Bedbug Inspection 2015 part 2

Lately with all the shite that's gone on around here ie: unnecessary cop calling, the KMHC office staff and their lack of understanding, lame fire drills and now we have an encore presentation…..Bedbugs!
Just last month UNH’s/KMHC hired a contractor to exterminate the bloody bastard bugs and apparently they are back.  Today we received a notice stating bedbugs have been sighted in the common areas and hallways of the KMHC building.  Looks to me the contractor did a terrible job so Good Shepherd Works will be doing a bedbug inspection on Friday…..UGH!  I rather be present when inspections are scheduled so I hope the inspector shows up early, I have things to do.  I know for a fact tenants are pissed off and frustrated, one tenant is planning to move out due to the bedbug scare and another suggests they bomb the building I don’t mean nuke it.  I mean UNH’s should put tenants up in a hotel then bomb the building with top of the line pesticide.  No more monkey business stop hiring cheap contractors.  
For the record I spent part of the long weekend cleaning my unit just in case the annual unit inspection is posted on the bulletin board.  I physically scrubbing the floors and bathroom area, washing the walls, did my laundry and now this Friday I have to look at strangers inspecting my unit wearing white contamination suits. Btw I have not seen any bedbugs in my unit nor do I have bites on my body and I can prove it. ;)

Now for something humorous:  Today we had heavy rains so around noon the HOW’s decide to go out for lunch. You should have seen Lynda running down the street in effort to avoid the heavy downpour.  I’m amazed those little legs can run so fast while carrying so much weight reminds me of an ostrich being chased by a cheetah.  :D

KMHC staff doesn't or won't post a time on their notice so this morning I called the Good Shepherd Works office to request an ETA. The lady was friendly and understanding and will instruct the inspector to check my unit first. Sure enough they arrived at 8:45 am. They gave my unit a full inspection and she'll pass on my recommendation to the KMHC office. If KMHC staff ignore my recommendation then they are at fault in regard to future bedbug infestations. Good News! I have no bedbugs I passed with flying colors. :)

UGH! Today we have another bedbug inspection from Good Shepherd Works this time I know one of the inspectors. I asked Steve the status on the bedbug epidemic in Hamilton he replied it's looks grim and will continue. The team gave some tips on prevention and I'm glad to report no bedbugs in my unit. :)

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...
