The Peer Tree
A private-pay pathway when grant-funded or public programs are not the right fit. Ask about scope, cost, travel, consent, safety, and whether support is available in Emery County before making a plan.
A Hoarding Alliance local resource guide
You can ask for support without agreeing to sort, discard, or clean anything today. Start with what matters most to you: feeling safer, keeping housing, finding a respectful conversation, or getting through this week.
Start here - Fight the Blight
Begin with a nonprofit conversation, private-pay support, or digital peer support. These are separate organizations; ask about fit, location, cost, consent, and availability before making a plan.
A respectful place to ask about hoarding-related support, virtual groups, and next steps. Share only what feels comfortable; asking for support does not require agreeing to a cleanup plan.

A note from the Alliance
This guide is anchored in Castle Dale, Utah, 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.
