Hamilton Native Food Bank

Please support your local food bank

Native Women’s Centre emergency food bank program is cutting back to every 60 days for long time food bank users.  From my understanding the cut backs are necessary due to the large volume of users.  I highly praise the program they do a remarkable job for the native community I mean how many food banks in Hamilton actually deliver to the applicant’s home in all kinds of weather!  Two women are assigned to drive around the city in a white unmarked van delivering food boxes.  I was surprised after speaking to the ladies to hear some natives get verbally abusive with the delivery personnel which is why a NWC agreement is issued to each applicant.  Fuck up by being disrespectful then the food bank user risks suspension or completely cut off.   I’m glad to announce none of the KMHC tenant elders are among the abusive group.

Two KMHC tenant elders are working on a bake sale for the first week of November.  It’s a great idea and the proceeds going to a dinner event for tenants.  Way to go KMHC tenant elders little Debbie & Theresa.  Betty Crocker would be proud of you gals.  :)

Here is something that will surprise the readers.  For the past three years Urban Native homes Inc. has tried everything possible to ostracize me from KMHC community programs and holiday events and the evil ring leader is HSC Ingrid Nosel.  Thanksgiving 2016 I wasn’t expecting a thing when I received a knock on my door, a UNH’s staff member handed me a gift shopping bag filled with food items. “Happy Thanksgiving from UNH’s” she said, I gave a smiley thank you.  Immediately I thought did the police officers actually pass on my message to UNH’s and they listened!  The gift bag was a nice gesture but it’s still too early to conclude UNH’s intentions.  Christmas is a few months away…that will be the big test.

Soon it will be Halloween a festive time for sure.  That being said the only creepy Clowns to watch out for are Ingrid and Lynda at the money pit building handing out tainted candy.  EEEK!   :P

Looking at my blog pageview total...I'm near 100,000 finally I'm reaching my goal.  :)

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...

Lock That Door!

FOB A few years ago UNH’s installed electronic door locks on all levels of the KMHC building.   There was grumbling from tenants about the inconvenience but soon learn to adapt.   Before entry the tenant must have a FOB device to unlock and open the front door. *Similar to the image above*   Yeah it’s a pain in the arse when a tenant is carrying groceries and other items.   The one thing I like about the FOB lock system is when the building fire alarm is triggered all FOB locked doors electronically swing open.   Soon after the FOB lock systems were installed I notice something peculiar.   During office hours the basement door was jarred open by the UNH’s staff and I figured out why.   UNH staff was too lazy to get up off their seat and physically open the door for their visitors.   There is a security camera monitor at the reception desk and a buzzer that opens the main door but Jeezus Come on ladies!   Tenant elders are inst...
