Communities that embrace and support their members with inclusive and supportive policies foster resilience and social cohesion, ultimately creating a more equitable and thriving society. Supporting people to live successfully in the community involves a multifaceted approach that not only focuses on immediate relief but prioritizes long-term prevention and support.
Unaddressed hoarding poses a significant risk for housing insecurity and major challenges to avoiding and solving homelessness among people affected by the conditions. A commitment to preventing homelessness and offering robust community support is an investment in the well being and stability of both individuals and the community at large.
The mission of the Massachusetts Hoarding Resource Network is to reduce stigma and strengthen the capacity to deliver effective interventions to people with hoarding conditions across the state.
