Aggression & Paranoia




Last Thursday at 12 noon I was having a pleasant chat with fellow tenant Robert about Thanksgiving holiday dinners and current events at the front of the building.  Suddenly tenant Dean King exits the building in a wild rage claiming we are talking about him.  At first I tried to assure him that is not so but he wouldn’t listen and moved on to verbal insults and aggressive posturing.  I’ve gone through this before with him and I had enough.  We got into a verbal sparring match while I stood in a defensive position.  Soon there was silence then he starts a crazed laughter, turns around continues his insults and walks away.  This was recorded on security surveillance and I would like to see the footage. 

Later I wrote up an incident report then went to H.P.S. central station for advice.  The officer on desk read my report and gave me a information card for COAST a mental health crisis hotline perhaps they can send a counselor to evaluate Dean’s mental health and go from there.  He also said the police can’t do anything because no threats were uttered and we didn’t get physical.  I thanked the officer for his time and left H.P.S. I was fine with his decision. 

After speaking to the officer I decided to write a letter about tenant Dean and H.O.W. Lynda Jones.  The next morning I fax it to Urban Native Homes Inc. administration dept.  About three years ago I had a short meeting with Lynda in regard to Dean’s behavior her response is they can’t do anything.  I left the meeting disappointed, there are options to explore H.O.W. Lynda Jones could suggest and encourage Dean to seek counseling for his aggression and extreme paranoia instead to this day she chooses to be an enabler.

24 hours after the incident I see two police cruisers pulling up to the building they are responding to a call not from tenant Dean but from H.O.W. Lynda Jones.  When the police first arrived Dean was sitting in the community room, Lynda lead the officers to the room and stood around listening while the officers question Dean.  Her biased towards Dean is apparent.  Anyway when the officers came to my door for privacy I invited them to enter my unit.  One officer read my incident report then asked what happened between Dean and I.  I explained I ended the friendship years prior because his strange behavior, I didn’t like being around him.  The meeting lasted 5 minutes there was not much the police could say except Dean and I are not to communicate with each other which I agree with.  I couldn’t be more elated this is exactly what I requested when I went to H.P.S. the night before.  :)
The Aboriginal ladies of the building were angry with Dean for causing a public disturbance in front of KMHC and he was told.  

Here is a Google definition that describe tenant Dean’s mental state.


What makes a person so aggressive?

Aggressive behavior can cause physical or emotional harm to others.  It may range from verbal abuse to physical abuse.  Mental health conditions and brain damage can contribute to aggressive behavior.  Occasional aggressive outbursts are common and even normal.

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...
