A Hoarding Alliance local resource guide
You deserve support without shame or pressure to fix everything at once. Start with the concern that matters most today: a clear exit, a health question, food, a housing worry, or someone to talk it through with. A small, chosen step can be enough for today.
Start here - Fight the Blight
Fight the Blight is the nonprofit starting point for hoarding-related support and virtual peer groups; ask about service area, program fit, and eligibility because grant-funded help is not guaranteed. The Peer Tree is a separate private-pay option. Unburied offers digital peer support for people affected and friends or family supporters; it is not therapy or emergency support. The Logan-Champaign mental health and recovery board lists regional care pathways, but directory inclusion does not establish hoarding-specialty expertise. We did not verify a local hoarding-specialty clinician or a hoarding-specific cleanout provider, and no providers were contacted.
For immediate danger, fire, or urgent medical need, call 911. For emotional crisis support, call or text 988. TCN's Soteria House has a 24/7 survivor crisis line; contact it for confidential domestic-violence support and confirm current intake and shelter capacity. United Way of Logan County currently notes a temporary restriction for families and single women at Peak of Hope Shelter, dated June 6, 2026; call before relying on shelter availability. These are independent options, not endorsements.
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.
An optional private-pay pathway when nonprofit programs are not a fit or available.
Online peer-led support and tools; it does not replace a clinician or emergency service.
United Way of Logan County says calls connect to a live local-resource operator day or night; ask about current options and verify details 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 for an active emergency; do not wait for an online referral.
Call or text 988 for emotional distress, suicidal thoughts, or help finding a next step.

TCN lists a 24/7 crisis line at 1-877-394-1046 and secure text at 937-347-5111. Shelter location is undisclosed; contact the line rather than traveling to an address.
Logan County JFS says the APS report line is staffed 24/7; it identifies hazardous living conditions among possible warning signs. APS does not provide general household cleanout service.
United Way describes the Logan County shelter at 225 N. Detroit Street, Bellefontaine, but lists a temporary household-type restriction. Call before traveling and ask 211 about alternatives.

Bellefontaine location at 212 E. Columbus Avenue, Suite 1; ask about current walk-in hours, scheduling, payment support, and service availability.

The district lists curbside recycling, pay-as-you-throw bags, drop-off recycling, and CHARM services; verify what is accepted, where, and at what cost.

A note from the Alliance
This guide is anchored in Bellefontaine, 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.
