Hoarding disorder is characterized by the need to intentionally collect and accumulate objects and/or animals and People in Hoarding Situations (PSA) represent around 2% to 6% of the world's population. In turn, traditional, historically oppressed communities, such as quilombolas, suffer from health problems, associated with precarious living and housing conditions and lack of environmental sanitation. This study aimed to outline the profile of people in a situation of accumulation (PSA) in quilombola communities in the municipality of Garanhuns, in the Southern Agreste of Pernambuco. The study was carried out in the municipality of Garanhuns in the rural area in quilombola communities. Initially, continuing health education actions were carried out with Endemic Disease Control Agents (ACE) from Environmental Health Surveillance and Community Health Agents (ACS) from Primary Care to raise awareness about ASF and identify cases in the territory. After raising awareness, visits were made to identified cases of PSA and in quilombola communities, to collect data through a situational diagnosis script. 36 homes were visited, of which 8 cases of PSA were identified. 151 animals were counted, 89 (59%) dogs and 62 (41%) cats. People over 60 years old represent 50% of cases. The number of animals by sex was: dogs 29 (32.58%); bitches 60 (67.42%); cats 23 (37.1%); cats 39 (62.9%). All interviewees considered the dog under the family's care as a member of the family. Based on the results found, it is expected that local managers and coordinators of the Health Surveillance and Primary Care teams will implement actions in order to establish a care network that includes early diagnosis, timely notification, adequate referral and multidisciplinary and integrated actions for the prevention and control of PSA cases, from the One Health perspective.
