Just when it appeared that the Umoja Village Project was headed in the right direction and the land would be conveyed to the people to develop affordable housing, The Homeless Trust throws a monkey wrench in already agreed upon commitment between Umoja and the city commission. Trust president Ron Book, a powerful lobbyist, convinced the commission to completely reverse its position on this issue. That move was not only a power play but a reality check for Rameau and anyone else who thinks that the government is actually for the people.
