Another UNH's Scandal



Our local newspaper the Hamilton Spectator wrote two articles on the UNH’s financial scandal and the story was broadcast via CHCH television news.   Check out the link below:

Just when you think it couldn’t get worse an old Winnipeg Free Press news article surfaced about the current UNH’s acting executive director Christine Lenze.  Check my link below:

What crimes and Canadian federal violations Christine Lenze did years ago I really don’t care.  What I do care about why is she the acting Executive Director of Urban Native Homes today!  It's all about the character after reading the link would you trust the woman with your wallet, purse or access to private and confidential banking information.  Let's face it she’d probably sneak back to Texas with all your life savings while sharing it with her family. :P  HSC Ingrid Nosel is a crafty old gal, she knew of her daughter's shady past yet allowed her to be a UNH’s board member then later she’s appointed to UNH’s acting Executive Director.  Nepotism runs in that family.  
Speaking of Ingrid, the HSC should be on-premises at the KMHC building during the day but no she and the Director are hiding at the Kenilworth men's residence building in east Hamilton, I’m sure avoiding the hard questions from tenants and the court summons officer which I’ve seen a few times at the entrance door.  When the Director refuses to comment or give an interview to the media about UNH's that alone raises a red flag.  The scandal has KMHC tenant elders concerned and depressed thinking will they have a place to live while others had enough and are planning to move out.  The taxpaying citizens of Hamilton are also talking about UNH’s and what happened to the $4 million bucks!

 So much for the “Unique Mandate”. :P

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...
