The Hoarding Pathway supports adults living in Havering in:
- owner-occupied private homes
- Council housing
The Hoarding Pathway supports and empowers individuals to engage in activities themselves rather than be passive recipients of care services.
The Coordinator will support the resident to:
- live safe, independent life at home.
- Reduce risk from hazards, such as fire, falls and blocked exits.
- Improve the individual's ability to carry out daily living activities.
- Reduce the impact of hoarding on families, neighbours, emergency services and others.
- Encourage social connection and purpose, setting clear, achievable goals together.
Even if a referral isn't appropriate, the Hoarding Pathway Coordinators can still provide advice.
