Breach Of Trust Conviction


Acting Director talking to the HSC. :D

Drat! I missed the article when it came out in the Hamilton Spectator a few months ago but Hey!  Better late showing up to the party then not at all.  UNH’s can thank their H.O.W. for the heads up.  Please read the link below regarding the current UNH’s Acting Director.


I read the article and like I said in a previous post I don’t care about Christine Lenze’s nefarious past what I’m concerned about can she be trusted today.  I respectfully disagree with Mr. O’Conner’s comment she’s fine and doing a good job. btw he does a great Santa Claus impersonation. :)
I’ve had many discussions with fellow tenants in the KMHC building and they’ve shared their strong opinions about this place.  No longer will Native elders be oppressed.   
This doesn’t involve me but some KMHC tenants are angrily upset after they recently received a signed letter from Christine Lenze and here’s the scoop.  Christine wrote UNH’s didn’t receive the rent for the month of May from select tenants.  Now these tenants are on Government benefits and have arrangements for direct deposit.  This means rent payment goes from ODSP/OW directly to UNH’s. Tenants have no involvement in the process.  End of the month statements say rent has been sent to UNH’s.  So here’s the big mystery, where is the rent money!  Could this be a computer glitch or should the authorities check the Acting Director’s purse.  Considering the recently outed financial scandal and the acting director's nefarious past this doesn’t look good for Urban Native Homes Inc.
What is it with nepotism in Native organizations! I've spoke to friends trying to figure it out perhaps it's a tribal thing.  :(
I'm glad to read councillor Merulla's recommendation should UNH's ignore maintenance requests. I have one outstanding and still waiting for a follow up.  Looks like I may have to take the next step. 

I've known this for awhile HCS Ingrid Nosel has ordered the staff not to speak to me. No longer do I hear joyful greetings which is a shame, Miss Abby was a ray of sunshine.  It doesn't bother me one bit and Ingrid shouldn't be dragging down staff just because she's socially inept and has a chip on her shoulder. They are adults, they can make their own choice who to speak to.

Aboriginal celebrations start in a few days at Gage Park, Hamilton. I'll be there so please stop and say hello to Hamilton's only Native Blogger.  :)

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...
