Understanding Hoarding Disorder
Hoarding disorder is a mental health condition characterized by excessive accumulation of items, regardless of their value, and a persistent difficulty discarding them. This condition often stems from a perceived need to save possessions and causes significant distress and impairment.
Hoarding can lead to:
- Health and safety hazards
- Structural damage
- Fire risks
- Legal and financial issues

Hoarding Levels and Risk Indicators
Understanding the severity of a hoarding situation is essential to determine the scope of intervention. T.A.C.T. follows the ICD® Clutter-Hoarding Scale®, which defines hoarding across five levels:
Level 1
Minimal clutter. All exits and utilities are functional. Minor signs of rodent activity.
Level 2
Blocked exits, broken appliances, limited pet care, light mildew, and early signs of neglect in housekeeping. Clutter affects multiple rooms and living functions.
Level 3
Outdoor accumulation, electrical hazards, structural damage, neglected pets, strong odors, and partially unusable living spaces.
Level 4
Significant structural issues, mold, pest infestations, unsafe storage of hazardous materials, and unusable bedrooms. Sanitation is severely compromised.
Level 5
Extreme structural damage, loss of utilities, visible rodents, dangerous pets, and human/animal waste indoors. Occupant may live outside the home.
