Tenants Are Leaving

The bedbug problem in the KMHC building has made more than a few tenants decide to move out.  Elenore was one and now we have Shirley.  Last week when I saw her load up some of her belongings into her daughter’s van I asked what happened.  She explained she’s had enough with bedbugs and being blamed for the KMHC infestations.  Now bloggers just picture a petite elderly widowed woman made to feel unwelcome by UNH's staff and a few tenants.  From what Shirley said the KMHC office sent her a letter stating they are coming in her unit to take pictures.  This upset Shirley and refused to allow them entry she then spoke to a social worker for assistance.  The social worker advised Shirley to go to the police there is a special unit that will help seniors in crisis.  There are times when UNH’s will over step the boundaries especially to those who don’t know their tenant rights, I know because I experienced it.   Anyway near the end of our conversation I gave Shirley some encouragement and a hug and pointed out don’t allow KMHC get her down.  Look at moving out as a step forward to better things.  I also offered to help load up her heavy stuff (furniture) on moving day.



Looking for a HOW – After Christine D. left I noticed a job posting on the information highway in PDF format.  UNH’s is looking for a replacement.  After carefully reading the job duties my suspicion is correct using the term Housing Outreach Worker aka HOW is misleading.  UNH’s really want is a jr. tenant supervisor.  Well guess what!  I’ve been on this planet long enough to know I don’t need supervision and most tenants in the building feel the same.  There are 18 required qualifications and tasks for the job which I’m not going in to but I will add a few satirical requirements to the list. :)
19. Applicants must be able to chew bubble gum on a regular basis HOW Lynda will give proper demonstration.
20. Applicants are required to wear chapstick and pucker up good before ass kissing UNH’s senior staff.
21. At meetings applicant must pretend to show interest at what the hell UNH’s is talking about.
22. Opinions and suggestions – Applicants are allowed to think it but not speak it.
23. During office hours applicant must wear a muzzle when approaching select tenants or risk being fired.
Good luck to all applicants and remember HSC Ingrid will provide a free class on rude gestures.  ;) 

Until next time have a good day. :)

Tk.

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...

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...
