The Peer Tree
A separate private-pay pathway for support, organizing, cleaning and family guidance. Ask about service area, consent-centered scope, rates, travel, and current availability before making plans.
A Hoarding Alliance local resource guide
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.
Start here - Fight the Blight
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, 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.
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.
A separate private-pay pathway for support, organizing, cleaning and family guidance. Ask about service area, consent-centered scope, rates, travel, and current availability before making plans.
A private, digital peer-support option for people affected by hoarding and for friends or family. It is not therapy or emergency support.
Ask a Community Resource Specialist about current food, housing, utility, transportation, health, and other local referrals. Call 2-1-1 or use the online search; availability and eligibility belong to each program.
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 faces immediate danger, a fire, serious injury, or urgent medical emergency. For non-emergency property or service questions, contact the appropriate local office instead.
Call or text 988 for emotional distress, suicidal thoughts, or support during a behavioral-health crisis. If there is immediate danger or urgent medical need, call 911.
The County lists its sheriff's office contact information and dispatch number. Do not use a non-emergency line instead of 911 when a person is in immediate danger.
Wyoming DFS lists Big Horn County C.A.R.E.S. and a Basin office. Because public directories show conflicting crisis numbers, use the state listing to confirm a safe current way to reach an advocate. Do not assume a shelter bed is available.
The County lists public-health offices, hours and program links. The current page does not list a Basin office; ask where a Basin resident can receive a specific service and whether travel or an appointment is required.
The Wyoming mental-health and substance-use association lists Big Horn Basin Counseling Services at a Basin location. Confirm current services, credentials, appointment access, insurance and costs directly; the directory is not proof of availability.
Cody Regional Health describes outpatient counseling, psychiatric services and substance-use treatment in Cody. Ask whether the service is appropriate, whether telehealth is available to your location, and what current access and costs apply.
The County shares emergency-management and hazard-mitigation information. For an active emergency, call 911; for a safety concern in the home, ask the relevant authority or qualified professional for case-specific guidance.
Legal Aid of Wyoming explains housing-related legal help. Ask about current service eligibility, deadlines, documents, and whether the issue is within its scope; a guide listing is not legal advice.
People and practical help
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.
The Town website provides utility applications, online payments, permits and a contact number. If clutter or property conditions are affecting service, ask about the specific rule and what options are available before assuming a deadline or penalty.

The County site links land planning, permits, septic systems and rural addressing. If a property concern involves a structure, access, fire load or sanitation, ask the relevant office what rules apply to the exact location.
The County posts office contacts and links to public-health programs. Confirm the current program, where it is delivered, appointment requirements and whether a Basin resident must travel.
Cody Regional Health lists its Basin Clinic at 525 North 5th Street and publishes a clinic phone number. Confirm current hours, whether same-day appointments are open, services, payer and cost before traveling.
County Planning links can help identify the right office before making changes to a property. Confirm whether the address is in town or county jurisdiction and request the applicable current guidance.

The current DFS page lists the 2026–27 application window and explains that benefits depend on household and heating details. Reapply each season, check current rules, and call 911 for immediate danger.
Wyoming's Medicaid page explains online applications and renewals. If enrolled, ask the program about covered non-emergency medical transportation, authorization and ride arrangements before an appointment.
The nonprofit describes rental counseling. Ask about tenancy questions, housing stability, reasonable next steps and the limits of its service; verify whether it can help with an urgent local need.
HUD's Wyoming page points to housing counselors and federal or local housing programs. Ask a HUD-approved counselor which options apply to the household and property; a referral does not guarantee funding.
Use the housing page to learn how to seek help with a housing-related legal problem. Contact Legal Aid promptly about notices or deadlines and ask whether the issue qualifies; this is not a substitute for legal advice from a representative.
The county Extension office offers University of Wyoming education and local-program information. Call ahead to confirm the right contact, current office hours, appointments and any program-specific eligibility.
Wyoming weather and road conditions can change quickly. Check WYDOT's current 511 information before travel, especially for appointments or disposal trips, and do not travel when conditions are unsafe.

A note from the Alliance
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.
