The Hoarding Task Force (HTF) is comprised of 30 public and private agencies throughout Summit County.

An estimated 20,000 residents of Summit County struggle with excessive clutter or hoarding
HTF offers education, consultation, and referrals to community resources

Become anxious, distressed or even traumatized when trying to reduce clutter
Become more socially isolated over time because of clutter and/or embarrassment
Live in unsafe conditions (tripping and fire hazards, pest infestation, disrupted utilities, etc.)
