A new initiative in Merseyside is calling on housing providers to adopt a standardized approach for handling hoarding cases. The Housing and Hoarding Innovation Group (HHIG) was established in 2019 to tackle these issues. Their goal is to provide a consistent and coordinated response for hoarding cases, rather than a case-by-case reaction.
A new approach is being developed, one that ensures the property is protected, the resident is supported, and professionals can remain involved. This is the path to preventing incidents such as the 2021 incident that left 45 people injured, 25 homes destroyed, and 15 people displaced.
A Merseyside-based organization, Josie Cookson, the founder of Scrubbed With Love, speaks out on behalf of HHIG. According to Josie, hoarding is an essential part of their mission to provide comprehensive support for residents who have hoarding issues.
In a statement from HHIG, Josie Cookson, a founder of Scrubbed With Love, said: "We think its the solution for a crisis. Its the path to a more sustainable approach. A hoarding response should not be one-off or reactive but proactive.
