Community Connections of Clearfield/Jefferson Counties
Ask which mental-health services and intake pathways fit your needs. County navigation does not establish a hoarding-specialty clinician or guarantee an appointment.
A Hoarding Alliance local resource guide
You can begin with one conversation, not a finished room. Choose a pathway that fits the concern you want to address first.
Start here - Fight the Blight
Fight the Blight is the nonprofit first-conversation and virtual-group front door for hoarding-related support. Ask what is available for your location and circumstances. Local county navigation, clinical, peer, housing, and practical pathways are separately labeled below.
Start with a conversation about hoarding-related support, family concerns, and current virtual groups. You do not have to finish cleaning before asking for help.
Role: nonprofit first-conversation and virtual-group front door; geography: remote; ask about Jefferson County; cost/eligibility: confirm program fit and availability; emergency limit: nonclinical; not therapy, crisis response, shelter, or cleanup
For immediate danger, fire, serious injury, or urgent medical need, call 911. For emotional distress or suicide-related support, call or text 988. Peer groups and referral websites are not emergency dispatch, shelter guarantees, or guaranteed clinical care.
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.
Ask which mental-health services and intake pathways fit your needs. County navigation does not establish a hoarding-specialty clinician or guarantee an appointment.
Call 211 or text your ZIP to 898-211 for local food, housing, utility, and other referrals. Confirm each provider's current requirements.
Ask about housing, deposits, shut-off concerns, and available temporary shelter. Office intake is in Punxsutawney; confirm arrangements before travel.
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 or text 988 to talk through emotional distress or suicide-related concerns. It is not a routine cleanup or housing program.
Call 800-341-5040 or text 63288 for crisis assessment and support. Mobile services are listed; ask what response fits the situation.
24-hour support and possible shelter. Contact safely if communications may be monitored.
Ask about housing, benefits, or other civil concerns. Acceptance is required; tell intake about deadlines.
Use emergency care for urgent medical needs. The hospital directory identifies emergency-care contacts; nonurgent care should follow the appropriate appointment pathway.
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.
Ask about groups, practical assistance, and support for friends or family. Confirm location coverage before making plans.
A digital pathway for personal support, supporters, and ongoing momentum; not a substitute for qualified care.
Use the directory to look for relevant experience and groups. A listing does not guarantee local availability, specialty fit, or an endorsement.
A specialized older-adult inpatient pathway, not a general hoarding clinic. Ask about clinical fit and admission requirements.
Dickinson Center lists this regional drop-in pathway at 110 E. Market Street. Call before travel to confirm access and current activities.
Call for an appointment; the agency requests no walk-ins. Ask about current in-home support, caregiver resources, and program limits.
The provider lists Brookville shared-ride service, but page schedules differ between tables. Confirm your address, destination, accessibility needs, and booking lead time directly.
Arrange eligible medical trips in advance; ask which transportation mode and schedule apply.
Ask about weatherization eligibility and safe access for an assessment; this is not a clutter-removal grant.
The library lists computers, Wi-Fi, scanning, printing and fax. Ask about current hours, access needs and fees before visiting.
Use official application information for food, health-coverage, and other benefits. Ask which documents and application route apply.
The state lists November 2, 2026 as the scheduled 2026–27 opening. Check current status before applying; eligibility and funding are not guaranteed.
Ask which property standards and next steps apply to a notice. Code enforcement is not a cleanup provider; do not assume borough rules apply countywide.
Ask about current collection arrangements and the proper route for bulky items or disposal questions. Do not leave items out without confirming rules.
For a water or sewer account concern, confirm your provider and discuss current arrangements. No financial assistance or rate is promised here.
A note from the Alliance
This guide is anchored in Brookville, Pennsylvania, 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.
