People and practical help
Housing, food, care, transportation, and ongoing support
These listings connect the local community with housing, food, behavioral health, benefits, transit, survivor advocacy, disability support, peer support, and practical resources. Ask about current availability, cost, scope, consent, and safety before relying on them.
Aging and practical support - Fulton County; senior eligibility and program capacity apply
Fulton County Senior Services In-Home Services
Fulton County's current In-Home Services program helps eligible seniors age in place through homemaking, personal care, and respite. The County says homemaking can include light housekeeping in the senior's living space, personal care can include bathing and grooming, and respite can provide supervision while a caregiver is away. Ask about age, income, functional-need, residency, provider, and waitlist requirements.
Food access - Fulton County seniors; age, homebound, assessment, and capacity rules apply
Fulton County Home-Delivered Meals
Fulton County says its home-delivered meals program provides free meals to eligible county seniors age 60 and older who are homebound and unable to shop for groceries or prepare meals. An over-the-phone assessment determines need and diet, and the program describes five meals per week. Ask about the current waitlist, assessment, delivery area, and eligibility.
Practical disposal - City of Atlanta residential service; scheduling and item limits apply
Atlanta bulk waste collection
The City of Atlanta's current guidance says bulk collection is scheduled for residential customers and must be arranged in advance. As of February 16, 2026, collections are scheduled on the resident's regular weekly collection day; items should be placed out after 7 p.m. the day before, at least six feet from carts and yard trimmings. Residents may receive up to 12 appointments per year before fees may apply. Electronics and household hazardous waste are not accepted; confirm preparation rules first.
City service navigation - Atlanta; non-emergency requests and case updates
ATL311
ATL311 is Atlanta's front door for non-emergency City services and information. Residents, businesses, and visitors can report concerns, submit service requests, and receive updates by phone, web, email, mobile app, chatbot, and social channels. It can help with code-enforcement, bulk-collection, and other city-service questions, but it is not a crisis line or a private cleanup provider.
Private-pay support and practical help - Atlanta and beyond; service scope and cost vary
The Peer Tree
The Peer Tree offers a private-pay pathway for organizing help, decluttering and deep-cleaning coordination, support groups, and guidance for friends and family. It is a separate organization from Fight the Blight and the Hoarding Alliance. Ask about service area, scope, pricing, privacy, consent, pacing, and what can be provided virtually or in person before beginning.
Digital peer support - available online; not therapy or emergency care
Unburied
Unburied is a digital, peer-led pathway from The Peer Tree for people affected by hoarding and clutter concerns, including friends and family supporters. It offers judgment-free connection and tools that can support ongoing momentum. It is not therapy, emergency response, or a replacement for local crisis, medical, housing, or protective-services pathways.
Affordable housing and supportive services - Eligibility varies
Atlanta Housing community resources
Atlanta Housing currently serves working families, seniors, people with disabilities, veterans, and people experiencing homelessness through tenant-based and community-based housing programs and specialty services. Its resident page links a community-resource guide and explains that each program may have different qualification rules. Confirm openings, waitlists, accommodations, documentation, and current contact instructions directly.

Independent cleanup provider - West Atlanta area; paid service
Bio-One of West Atlanta
This independent private provider advertises hoarding cleanup, deep cleaning, and related property services in the West Atlanta area. Its current page describes a consultation-first process and says staff discuss valuables and client preferences. It is not affiliated with Fight the Blight or the Alliance.
