A Hoarding Alliance local resource guide
A respectful place to begin, whether you are looking for support for yourself, worried about someone you love, or trying to respond to a safety, housing, care, or practical concern in Bartlesville or Washington County.
Start here - Fight the Blight
Our virtual groups give people affected by hoarding and clutter concerns a place to connect from Bartlesville, Washington County, and nearby communities. We can help you think through what is happening and what kind of next step may fit.
Call 911 for a medical emergency, fire, or immediate threat. For behavioral-health crisis support, call or text 988 or contact Center for Therapeutic Interventions. For food, shelter, housing, utilities, and basic-needs navigation, call 211 and confirm local availability.
First conversations
You do not need to know the perfect service name before reaching out. These organizations can help you understand the landscape and identify a next step.
Bartlesville Helps is the city's hub for unsheltered-homelessness and public-safety resources and links to a dynamic Bartlesville Area Resource Guide. Use it to identify options, then confirm current hours, eligibility, capacity, cost, and intake directly with each provider.

Safety and stability
These pathways serve different situations. Read the labels carefully before calling, especially when a response may involve crisis care, protective services, shelter, housing rules, legal advocacy, or emergency dispatch.
Call 911 when someone is in immediate danger, a fire or medical emergency is happening, or emergency responders are needed. A hoarding or housing concern that is not immediately dangerous may need a planned county, housing, or support response instead.

A note from the Alliance
This guide is anchored in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, and includes city, county, state, nonprofit, national, and independent pathways. A listing here does not mean Fight the Blight endorses every provider or can guarantee availability. The Hoarding Alliance is not a city or county agency, therapy practice, emergency service, or cleanup company. We will keep reviewing this page, but please confirm details directly before relying on them.
