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.  :)

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 Passing of Dean King

There's not many original KMHC tenants left that I know, last week I got word tenant Dean King passed away, we were not related and I remember when he moved in the building we got along well, we hung out often and he shared stories about his life and family. Eventually I notice he wasn't the sharpest pencil in the drawer and I started drifting away thus ended our friendship. Dean didn't have the usual addictions most male aboriginals endure he didn't drink or do drugs the problem was his mental state which I believe began after an auto accident years before.  After I moved out of KMHC I'd often see him standing in line at the food bank in Gore Park in downtown Hamilton or hanging out with street friend Galina in Jackson Square food court. He didn't have many friends and other KMHC tenants just tolerated and accepted his strange behavior. He'd walk the streets looking disheveled and lost.  When I received the news Dean died I didn't feel sad I felt surpri...

Sandy Holland

On February 27th 2025 I heard the passing of tenant Elder Sandy Holland. I knew she was in bad health and said to her friend she's ready to go.  I met her years ago when she moved to KMHC she seem a bit daffy yet in a nice way, never spoke mean about others but had strong opinions about UNH staff. We would meet at UNH dinner functions and meetings and always offered me hug. She never got personal sharing her life stories with me which I can respect. RIP
