Sad and Upsetting News

First the sad news! Last week friend and KMHC tenant Peter Isaac passed away alone in his unit. Peter and I got along well and after I moved out we'd run into each other downtown so I made a point to sit and chat with him often. He had the gift to gab and there were times I had to cut him off because I had to leave. Near the end of his life I notice he didn't look well and I reminded him to look after himself especially after he confide in me that he accidentally OD'd on fentanyl a month ago. Peter had many street friends and I feel he had a rough life. There are some in the KMHC building who despise Peter and I say get over it, the man has passed and carrying around all that negativity is unhealthy. I notice with the passing of Peter there are not many tenant/friends left at KMHC that I know.:( Such is life.

RIP Peter Issac

The Upsetting News! Security at KMHC is terrible. There has been drug addicts camping out in the basement level and what is OAHS staff doing about it! Aboriginal senior tenants are afraid and angry that the situation has reached a high level. I use to live on the basement level, rest assured if I was still there druggies and street people would be tossed out on their asses. I've done it before.

OAHS is doing the bare minimum that is required from a non profit organization. Upper management is located in other cities and have no idea what in the hell is not going on. It's like the old saying "Too many cooks in the kitchen and nobody is eating the food". SMH.

To avoid a unit inspection Aunt Opie reported to the OAHS staff she has COVID-19 then was spotted later in the day all dressed up hopping into a cab. Crafty move Aunt Opie would you be hiding you have a unkempt/dirty unit? Remember I was there many times in the past and it smelled awful. The unit I mean. :P

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...

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...
