What's Happening @ KMHC

Keeping with the critique theme on my blog site, last week I wrote a letter to H.O.W. Lynda Jones complaining about the misuse of the “24 hour Notice to Enter Unit” and a few other issues. I felt my tenant issue was overdue and in the end I describe Urban Native Homes Inc. as a Mickey Mouse Organization.

Grey FOB Key

A KMHC tenant asked me to write about her predicament and I’m more than happy to oblige. What would you do if you lost or damaged the small FOB key that unlocks the building entrance doors! You would go to the office ask for a replacement then perhaps be billed for the replacement….end of story. Well hang on to your keychain folks. H.O.W. Lynda Jones chooses not to follow procedure instead the tenant must pay $25.00 up front in order to get a new FOB key. I thought is she for fucking real! One time years ago I lost my building keys on the bus so I called Darryl the maintenance guy and he came to the building to let me in my unit. The next day I called the KMHC office for replacement keys and was never billed….the end. The H.O.W’s job is to assist tenants, not make living at KMHC difficult. I think it’s time for UNH’s to look for a new H.O.W. she’s has been here too long and KMHC would function more efficiently without her. Speaking of Lynda why am I being terrorized in public by a 5 ft. 170 lbs. woman lurking around me during the noon hour! EEEK!

Remember Ingrid Nosel the woman who called the cops because a camera was aimed at her direction! Since making a fool of herself in front of everybody she hasn’t been around KMHC. I hear she relocated to the Kenatah Complex in Stoney Creek to be near her daughter the UNH’s Acting Director and part time criminal. :P Ingrid has been sighted hanging around the money pit building on Kenilworth Ave. I assume to brush up on her cooking skills. Now you know why I call the cartoonish UNH’s a Mickey Mouse Organization or perhaps “Looney Tunes” is a better description. :D

During these difficult times I’d like to wish a Happy Thanksgiving to our American Native cousins. According to my stats USA, Canada, Europe and Russia are my frequent readers.

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
