Attitude Adjustment




Oh Look! A monkey with attitude. :D

Since UNH’s head office move to the KMHC building the atmosphere around here has been pleasant.  I’ll sometimes exchange a hello or a wave with head office staff and all is well. :)  Then we come to the Housing Outreach Worker Lynda Jones this woman acts like a total bitch.  This morning I quietly drop off a maintenance work order on the UNH’s receptionist desk counter and H.O.W. Lynda Jones was standing nearby, to my surprise she said in a bitchy tone “You're not supposed to be in the office and any letters delivered under the office door will be sent back to you!”.  I didn’t respond to her words instead I dropped off the letter and left….I’m not going to play her game.  As an alternative Lynda could have said thank you or nothing since the letter wasn't addressed to her.  When it comes to tenant issues I will deliver my request as I see fit or we can go to the landlord and tenant board to resolve the issue.  It seems redundant to mail or fax a maintenance work order request when the UNH’s office reception is now 10 feet across the hall from my unit.  After a year and half HOW Lynda Jones broke the rule she’s not to speak to me and she needs an attitude adjustment.  As with the HSC Ingrid the silent treatment is over once Lynda opened her mouth.  Other UNH’s staff members are respectful and polite to Native elders there is no need for Lynda to behave in this manner.  With the UNH’s scandal still fresh in our minds what Lynda Jones did was ruin the already tarnished image and reputation of Urban Native Homes Inc.   Keep this up Lynda and you’ll be applying for E.I. benefits while polishing up your resume.  Remember you can be replaced. :P

On another topic I have to thank UNH’s maintenance dept. for responding to my previous work order request and it looks like the KMHC building grounds are finally being maintained.  The old furniture sitting at the side of the building was an eyesore and the lawn area has been mowed.

I have to admit I’ve been in a great mood since the UNH’s scandal broke out.  I go about my own business, greet my friends in the building and focus on activities away from KMHC.   Life is good.  :)

A few weeks ago I received this information from a reliable source. The main reason former HOW Christine Demik quit UNH's was to get away from Lynda Jones.

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...
