You can begin with the part that feels most urgent today.

Our virtual groups give people affected by hoarding and clutter concerns a place to connect from Bastrop, Morehouse Parish, and nearby northeast Louisiana communities. We can help you think through what kind of next step may fit.

For immediate danger

For current food, shelter, housing, utilities, transportation, or benefits navigation, dial 211 and confirm local availability.

A note from the Alliance

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

This guide is anchored in Bastrop, Louisiana, 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.
