A Hoarding Alliance local resource guide

Hoarding support in Basin, Wyoming.

A calmer first step can be small: one conversation, one safety concern, or one practical need. You deserve support that respects your choices and your pace.

People first.Then the stuff.A Fight the Blight initiative

Start here - Fight the Blight

Start with what matters most to you

Fight the Blight is the nonprofit front door for a first conversation and virtual-group options. The Peer Tree is a separate private-pay support pathway. Unburied offers digital peer support and self-guided tools. These organizations are distinct from the local resources listed here; listings are not endorsements.

Start with a respectful first conversation about what is happening and what kind of support would feel useful. Ask what virtual groups or other options are currently available.

Role: nonprofit hoarding-support and virtual-group front door; geography: ask about Big Horn County and online options; cost/eligibility: confirm current group fit, schedule and any costs; emergency limit: not therapy, emergency response or a substitute for local services.

For immediate danger

For immediate danger, fire, serious injury, or urgent medical need, call 911. For emotional distress or thoughts of suicide, call or text 988. For domestic-violence or sexual-assault advocacy, use the Wyoming Department of Family Services victim-services listing and confirm the current safe contact method. A resource list cannot assess a home, provide emergency response, or guarantee an available bed or service.

A note from the Alliance

Start with the person. Then decide what the situation needs.

This guide is anchored in Basin, Wyoming, 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.
