Breach Of Confidentiality II

You may be wondering what’s been happening around here since my last post.  My two previous tenant issue requests to UNH’s management has been ignored so I’m going to the next level.  We have new tenants @ KMHC a welcome to Linda, Joan and Albert may your living quarters be free of incident.  :)

News - The HSC Ingrid made an error in judgement opening her big mouth to a KMHC tenant defending the UNH’s acting director’s nefarious past.  Those who are internet savvy and follow the local news know what really happened. It's understandable a mother’s need to make excuses for the  daughter.  Some parents will stand by their children regardless if they committed a heinous crime.  Interestingly HCS Ingrid also slammed my name during the conversation.  So who is the tenant you ask!  I call her Gladys Kravitz a nosy character from the classic TV show Bewitched.  Discretion has no meaning in her vocabulary and of course what Ingrid said to her has spread like wildfire in the KMHC building.  So who’s at fault!  My finger points at HSC Ingrid.  Urban Native Homes Inc. has a confidentiality policy so when the HSC Ingrid and other staff violate the rule a reprimand is in order.

The Van – I don’t use the UNH's transportation service it was designed to transport native elders to medical appointments but it’s not always used for such purposes.  I would use it once a year when Deb was the driver to attend the annual Native Christmas dinner.   Anyway someone from across the street brought this to my attention I assume he thought I work for Urban Native Homes Inc.  The concerned citizen said I notice your van has a handicap parking sticker on the windshield yet I saw the driver a young man get out and run towards the building he didn’t look handicapped to me.  I thanked the man and said I will mention the complaint to the UNH’s office.  Needless to say for obvious reasons I never mentioned anything to the office.  
Recently the H.O.W. cop caller has been sighted entering the H.P.S. building makes you wonder what is she up to now!  Probably to file a complaint that someone pissed in her bowl of corn flakes. :P
UNH’s claim their head office is at this location but it’s not.  Head office is usually where upper management is located which happens to be at the “money pit” building on Kenilworth Ave.  You can stop hiding Christine & Ingrid.   Come out, Come out wherever you are!  The hide and seek game is over. :P

To the Hamilton City Council members.  Please vote in favor for a new management team to operate UNH’s. The way things are now I don’t see a bright future.  :(

Until next time, enjoy your summer.

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...

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...

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...
