Hoarding Disorder mental healthcare and support - there's encouraging news!!! I admit, when the U.S. Senate Special Committee on Aging July 2024 report The Consequences of Clutter: How Hoarding Disorder Affects America's Older Adults, First Responders, and Their Communities came out, I expected that report, marvelous though it is, to also be the end of the conversation. Compile data, write some press releases, file it, done.
I WAS WRONG - I AM GLEEFULLY, JOYFULLY, EXUBERANTLY WRONG. Senator Casey and his staff are ACTIVELY following through with the US Departments of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and Health and Human Services (HHS) to activate agency responses to the report recommendations.
Follow the links to the Committee's directives to HUD and HHS if you would like to read the letters.
