Conflict
Following the announcement in 2008 that the Konbit pou lape (Get Together for Peace) military base in Cité Soleil housing the soldiers of the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti would be expanded, AUMOHD worked with the Committee for Houses Being Demolished (KODEL) to support the residents of the 155 buildings that were scheduled to be destroyed.
Evel Fanfan, Haitian lawyer and president of AUMOHD, has been a target of harassment alongside other members of the organization. Several family members of Fanfan have also been subjected to intimidation.
