About Our Program

Does your loved one struggle with Hoarding Disorder? 

We have recognized an unmet need of assistance for those facing the Hoarding Disorder in southeastern Wisconsin. Our goal is to shape the community's response to hoarding. Catholic Charities has developed a holistic model of intervention for improving the lives of individuals with the Hoarding Disorder.

Through years of experience, we have created a logic model to work with those who have Hoarding Disorder. This is a coordinated plan of intervention that maximizes resources to achieve the best result to reduce the hoarding, benefit the household directly affected by hoarding, and assist those affected by the problem while being cost effective in the long-term.

The program uses a team approach. This starts assigning a Case Manager, Home Coach and Therapist that perform a comprehensive assessment at the person’s or family's residence. The initial assessment includes screening for imminent harm to self or others along with assessing all 6 of the hoarding attributes (personal safety, physical health, social health, financial wellbeing, environment, and mental health), followed up with action plans for each one.
