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...

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...
