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...

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
