Sloppy Waste Management

I've come to the conclusion Ontario Aboriginal Housing Services reluctantly accepted the assignment to take over Urban Native Homes Inc. 3+ years ago.  In their website there's an article where Justin Marchand OAHS executive director is standing in front of a building, the writings are basically saying 'Look at me I fly all around northern Ontario and I do Godly things'. :P  Meanwhile OAHS in Hamilton go through staff like I go through socks.  I once ask former staff worker Rose do they pay for her gas expenses when she has to travel to London from Hamilton she replied no probably one reason she left OAHS.  She was a great gal, I liked her.  Note to new job applicants you're under contract unless you know how to kiss ass and enjoy it don't expect a long career at OAHS.  

Feedback from KMHC and Candlewood Drive complex tenants.  I'm told due to poor new tenant screening domestic violence has increased at Candlewood Dr. and KMHC tenants are not happy. Many KMHC native elders have gone through alot in their lives, now in their golden years show them respect and attention.  I predict these Hamilton aboriginal housing properties will be a slum in the near future.

Often OAHS staff don't return calls and when they do the current property manager suggests if the tenant wants improvement to the grounds notify Hamilton City Council or ACORN Canada.  Talk about passing the buck! 

Waste Management - KMHC still have the primitive waste disposal system that needs an update and check out these pictures captured at Candlewood Dr tenant complex.  Disgusting eh!  So Justin Marchand OAHS director next time you're flying around the northern skies in luxury think about the Candlewood Drive tenants in Hamilton who have to put up with the stench and filth and vermin due to sloppy waste management.

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 Ladies of KMHC

I & friend Teresa Last week I attended a program host by NWC Hamilton, it was there I met up with six female tenants of KMHC.   It was nice to see the ladies again I was greeted with hugs and smiles.   The program was Holistic teachings by Jane Burning she spoke about the Creator and positive thinking.   I enjoyed the presentation though it was a wee bit long.   During lunch break I had the chance to chat with the KMHC tenants to find out how’s life going at KMHC.   Things haven’t improved most tenants don’t like each other and there’s a lot of negative energy in the building.   I offered a sympathetic ear and didn’t judge as they shared their stories. The big problem with KMHC is tenant Aunt Opie and I’m glad she didn’t attend the NWC program.   You may recall I spoke of her in past blogs, aunt Opie’s negativity spreads throughout KMHC.   She brags about sending false complaint e-mails about tenants and staff to Justin the head direc...

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
