A Hoarding Alliance local resource guide
You can begin with one concern that matters today. You do not have to sort everything out before asking for information or support.
Start here - Fight the Blight
If clutter, a home-safety concern, or the stress around it is weighing on you, you deserve respectful support without shame. Choose a starting point that feels manageable, and ask what is available before sharing more than you want.
For immediate danger, fire, or urgent medical help, call 911. For emotional crisis support, call or text 988. Local listings are independent options, not endorsements; availability, cost, eligibility, and service areas can change.
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.
The Peer Tree is a private-pay pathway when grant-funded help is not available or does not fit. Confirm current service area, scope, availability, and cost directly before making plans.
Unburied offers a digital peer-support pathway for people directly affected and the people who support them. It is not therapy or emergency support and does not replace professional care.
Call 2-1-1 or 833-848-9905, or text your ZIP code to 898-211, to ask about current food, housing, utility, and support options. Confirm hours, eligibility, documents, and availability with 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 for immediate danger, fire, or urgent medical help. Do not use social media or email to request emergency response.
Call or text 988, or use the online chat, for emotional distress, suicidal thoughts, or concern about someone else. Use 911 when immediate emergency response is needed.
Call or text Help4WV to ask about behavioral-health and substance-use supports and what next step may fit. Confirm whether ongoing services have fees or eligibility requirements.
EastRidge lists a crisis phone option through its main line: call 304-263-8954 and press 4. Ask about the service's current hours and follow-up options; do not assume a bed or appointment is available.
EPEC lists a 24-hour hotline and a Morgan County outreach office. An advocate can discuss options and safety planning; emergency shelter is survivor-specific and space is not guaranteed. Consider device privacy when seeking help.
The state hotline page lists reporting contacts for adult and child protective services. For a non-immediate concern, use the current state instructions and ask what information is needed.
Call Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222 for possible ingestion or chemical exposure. Keep the product container nearby if safe to do so; do not delay 911 for severe symptoms.
Morgan County Public Safety lists 304-258-0305 for non-emergency communications. Use it only for non-urgent questions; this number is not a substitute for 911.
The county office shares preparedness information for storms, floods, winter weather, and other hazards and offers local emergency alerts. Follow its current instructions during an incident; for immediate help call 911.
Call 1-800-799-SAFE (7233), text START to 88788, or use online chat. A person who may be monitored should consider using a safer device or clearing browser history only if doing so is safe.
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 state lists Medicaid, SNAP, LIEAP, emergency assistance, non-emergency Medicaid transportation, adult protective services, homeless services, and other programs through the Morgan County office. Current state pages show differing walk-in street details, so call to confirm the correct address and documents before traveling.
Use the official portal to apply for or manage eligible state benefits. If online access is difficult, ask Morgan County DoHS about other ways to apply and what identity, income, or household records are needed.
Review current SNAP eligibility and application information, then confirm case-specific questions with the state or Morgan County DoHS. Approval timing and benefit amount depend on the household and current rules.
West Virginia lists emergency assistance and LIEAP through its benefits agency. Check current application periods and required documents with Morgan County DoHS; ask the utility directly about shutoff notices and payment arrangements.
The state explains how Medicaid members can request qualifying non-emergency medical transportation. Confirm current vendor, advance-notice rules, trip coverage, and pickup arrangements before relying on a ride.

The center lists a Berkeley Springs primary-care location at 261 Berkmore Place, Suite 1A. Contact the clinic to ask about appointment access, current accepted coverage, and charges before traveling.
This community health center lists primary and behavioral health services at 783 Winchester Street in Paw Paw. It is outside Berkeley Springs; confirm appointment access, travel, fees, and service fit directly.
EastRidge lists its Morgan County office at 89 Sugar Hollow Road. No local hoarding-specialty clinician was verified; call to ask about a clinician's scope and current availability rather than assuming specialty care.
Starting Points is a local family-support center and posts current program information and ways to ask about community resources. Call ahead to confirm the right location, hours, and program fit.
Starting Points currently posts hot meals on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m. Check the current page or call before traveling because schedules can change.
Starting Points maintains a food-resource page that links to local pantry information. Call before visiting to confirm which pantry is open, what is available, and whether any documents are requested.
The Partnership describes community programs, including mental-health awareness and family or youth initiatives. It is a community-program provider, not a verified hoarding-specialty clinician; ask which activities are currently offered and who may participate.
The organization lists meals, transportation scheduled in advance, activities, case management, respite, and other supports for older adults. Ask about age, disability, program eligibility, fees, pickup availability, and booking lead time.
The state resource center can help identify aging, disability, and caregiver services. Ask about local options, program screening, and how to apply.
The state describes homeless-service pathways. For current local referral information, contact WV 211 or Morgan County DoHS and ask about any intake process; no current general shelter opening has been verified for this guide.
HUD's directory can help locate housing counselors for rental, homeownership, or housing-stability questions. Ask about appointment access, fees, and whether the counselor handles your specific issue.
For concerns involving domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, or trafficking, EPEC's Morgan County office can discuss advocacy and safe next steps. This is not general-purpose housing placement, and a bed is not guaranteed.
Apply online or contact statewide intake to ask about a civil legal issue, housing concern, or benefit question. Confirm scope and eligibility before relying on representation.
The program offers civil legal assistance to older West Virginians. Call to ask whether the issue is within scope and how to arrange an appointment; do not assume walk-in service.

The state workforce agency provides job-search and training information. Check its current office directory and ask whether a Morgan County appointment or remote service is available.
The state program may help qualifying households improve home energy efficiency. Ask the administering provider about Morgan County intake, documents, waiting time, landlord consent, and whether a home can be served.
The county lists commissioners, offices, and boards, including planning and unsafe-structure/property-enforcement contacts. Ask which department handles an address or concern; do not assume an enforcement office provides hoarding support.
The Town of Bath website posts water and service notices for its utility area. Check current outage or boil-water notices and call the utility to confirm whether an address is served.
No current general-public fixed-route transit timetable was verified for Morgan County. Older adults can ask Senior Life Services about advance-scheduled rides, and eligible Medicaid members can ask about NEMT; confirm service area and reservation rules first.
A note from the Alliance
This guide is anchored in Berkeley Springs, West Virginia, 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.
