Hoarding Task Forces:

From the National Center on Elder Abuse:
Concerned over the high number of complaints about "nuisance property" (many of the cases having to do with hoarding), Seattle's Neighborhood Action Team formed a working group in the spring of 2001 to work on these cases citywide. Agencies represented include public health, design, construction and land use department, law enforcement/crisis intervention team, Mayor's Office for Senior Citizens, Evergreen Healthcare, fire department, and human services. The task force's work has included development of protocol for prioritizing cases. Seattle's citywide initiative to tackle the problem of hoarding was reported October 30, 2002 in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.

NOTE 7/2007:
It appears that the Seattle Hoarding Task Force no longer meets. Instead, you can contact:


GERIATRIC REGIONAL ASSESSMENT TEAM - GRAT EVERGREEN HEALTHCARE 2414 SW ANDOVER ST, D-120 SEATTLE WA 98106. Phone: (206) 923-6300 and speak with Karen Kent, the supervisor of the program. She stated that the Seattle Hoarding Task Force hasn’t met for a couple of years since the original coordinator from the mayor’s office was moved to another position. Karen stated that the Geriatric Regional Assessment Team can be contacted concerning hoarding cases in the King County area and that they’ll go out and assess.

I've made dedicated pages for each state on the COH website. Here is where you can find yours:

http://www.childrenofhoarders.com/WV.php

Hopefully you will find some resources there that will help you.
As always, I'm glad to learn of new resources from members so I can post them on the site to help others desperately searching for them.
You can post anything you know of here in this forum, or submit them via the anonymous feedback form on your state's page.

Thank you.

Currently, Simply Organized is working with individuals to create a WA State Hoarding Task Force. In this journey it has been discovered that many in the state are helping hoarders, however, they do not know that others exists. It is the intent of the Task Force to bring all related professionals together & offer a well rounded forum of resources.

This professional organizer, April Welch, has also volunteered to assist anyone from this site looking for resources in WA state. You can contact her at the above site.
