What is Hoarding?

Hoarding is a complex mental health disorder. It’s not just OCD or depression. It’s also more than an inability or extreme difficulty in discarding possessions. We understand that regardless of the value of these possessions, hoarding often leads to unsafe living conditions, strained relationships, and creates risks like fire hazards, mold growth, pest infestations, and others.

The 5 Stages of Hoarding:

Level 1 – Mild clutter: No safety risks, but spaces feel crowded.
Level 2 – Blocked pathways: Limited mobility in rooms and odors begin to emerge.
Level 3 – Biohazard buildup: Rotting food, pest infestations, and structural damage.
Level 4 – Unlivable conditions: Broken utilities, severe odors, and health risks.
Level 5 – Extreme hazard: Collapsed floors, toxic air, and condemned properties.
