A Hoarding Alliance local resource guide

Hoarding support in Camilla, Georgia.

Start with one step that matters to you. This guide brings together local and regional options for people, families, supporters, and community partners without promising treatment, cleanup, a ride, or housing placement.

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

Start here - Fight the Blight

A calm place to begin

You do not have to solve everything at once. 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 pathway when public or grant-funded help is not the right fit. Unburied offers digital peer support, not therapy or emergency help. Ask each organization about current fit, availability, cost, eligibility, consent, and safety before relying on a service.

For immediate danger

For immediate danger, fire, a serious injury, or urgent medical help, call 911. For emotional or behavioral-health crisis support in Georgia, call or text 988 or call the Georgia Crisis & Access Line at 1-800-715-4225. These crisis pathways do not provide hoarding cleanout services.

A note from the Alliance

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

This guide is anchored in Camilla, Georgia, 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.
