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

Start here - Fight the Blight

Choose one place to begin

Fight the Blight is the nonprofit front door for hoarding-related support. The Peer Tree offers private-pay support, and Unburied is a digital peer-support option—not therapy or emergency care. You can ask questions before deciding what fits.

A first conversation for people affected by hoarding, friends and family, and community partners. Share only what you choose and ask what support may fit your location and priorities.

Role: nonprofit front door and virtual-group pathway for hoarding-related support; geography: ask about current options for Grant County; cost/eligibility: confirm any eligibility, funding, and fees; emergency limit: not clinical care or emergency response.

If there is immediate danger, a fire, or a life-threatening medical emergency, call 911. For emotional or behavioral-health crisis support, call or text 988. This guide and its peer-support pathways are not emergency response.
