My good friend of over 40 years lives at mustard seed housing. He had horrific time with body lice and bed bugs that took them so long to take care of that being diabetic he almost lpst his legs. Now they have the caseworker Shawn going into his place and throwing away what ever he wants..examples gifts he bought for christmas for family..presents he bought friends..food. The reason is given because he hoards. But hoarding is a psychological mental illness. Throwing away gifts and other important things is traumatizing. There is therapy for hoarding. This man lost so much...a former vetran. He was working but when it came to renewing his licence because of a 30 year old Ontario ticket as a result he lost his job and home. He is very passive. Its no fair his caseworker is not treating him with empathy. He has done some good things but perhaps needs more mental health education when dealing with elderly and handicapped ( which my friend had a stroke couple years ago that left him disabled)
