A Hoarding Alliance local resource guide

Hoarding support in Batavia, Ohio.

A people-first place to begin when clutter or a home-safety concern is affecting you or someone you care about in Batavia or Clermont County. These are options to explore—not promises of treatment, cleanup, transportation, housing, or program availability.

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

Start here - Fight the Blight

You can begin with one practical next step.

Fight the Blight is the nonprofit front door for a respectful first conversation and virtual peer groups. The Peer Tree is a separate private-pay option for practical, nonclinical support. Unburied offers digital peer support for people affected and supporters; it is not therapy or emergency support. Other listings are independent options, not endorsements. Confirm fit, cost, eligibility, consent, safety, and current availability directly.

For immediate danger

For immediate danger, fire, serious injury, or urgent medical help, call 911. For emotional distress or a behavioral-health crisis, call or text 988 or call Clermont County's 24/7 crisis line at 513-528-SAVE (7283). Clermont County Community Services lists emergency shelter assistance, but intake, eligibility, capacity, and placement must be confirmed; no bed is guaranteed. YWCA House of Peace is survivor-specific support, not general shelter. These services do not provide cleanup or guaranteed housing. If a home is unsafe, move to the safest available place and contact emergency services or a trusted support person.

This guide is anchored in Batavia, Ohio, 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.
