MNHTF Mission StatementOur mission is to support any person, family, friend or agency in Minnesota affected by hoarding through
education, networking and connection to resources while promoting public health and safety.
MNHTF Vision Statement
We envision communities that implement best practices to support those affected by hoarding whereas
individuals are supported with sustainable options while being treated with dignity and respect.
MNHTF Confidentiality Policy
When discussing hoarding individuals within any context of MNHTF activities, identifiable information about the individual is to be changed to protect privacy unless written consent for release of information is obtained. In the event that private information is incidentally shared or learned, this information must remain confidential. Our work relies on all MNHTF members to conform to this rule of confidentiality. Unauthorized disclosure of confidential or privileged information is a serious violation of this policy and may result in disciplinary action by the MNHTF officers.
MNHTF Conflict of Interest Policy
As MNHTF members are interacting with the public, we will have opportunity to suggest to others who they may hire to help with their hoarding situation. In such cases, it is better to excuse your own business interest in favor of other similar businesses, or, to identify yourself and your business and point out to the person that they have options to hire from a list of similar businesses.
