A respectful place to begin, whether you are looking for support for yourself, worried about someone you love, or trying to respond to a safety, housing, care, or practical concern in Cheyenne and Laramie County.

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

Start here - Fight the Blight

You do not have to know the perfect next step.

Fight the Blight is the nonprofit and virtual-group front door for people affected by hoarding and clutter concerns, including people who are directly affected and supporters who want to learn how to provide support. People in Cheyenne and Laramie County can also use current city, county, statewide, nonprofit, peer-support, qualified-care, housing, shelter, food, legal, transportation, repair, code, disposal, and practical pathways. No outside listing is an endorsement; each organization sets its own eligibility, cost, hours, service area, capacity, consent, privacy, and safety rules.

For immediate danger

For immediate danger, fire, serious injury, violence, or a life-threatening medical emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. For behavioral-health or substance-use crisis support, call or text 988; Cheyenne Regional also identifies free crisis-text support by texting WYO to 741-741. For statewide housing, food, utility, health, transportation, and human-services navigation, call Wyoming 211, call 1-888-425-7138, text a ZIP code to 898211, or search the current online directory. Crisis and emergency routes are not hoarding-support or cleanup services.

First conversations

A few good places to start

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.

Wyoming 211

Wyoming 211 is a free, confidential information-and-referral service with a statewide resource database and Community Resource Specialists. The current site lists weekday hours from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Call 211, call 1-888-425-7138, text a ZIP code to 898211, or search online for Laramie County options. Confirm eligibility, capacity, hours, transportation, and referral requirements directly.

Aging, disability, caregiver, in-home, transportation, and benefits navigation - Wyoming; free information and referral, program rules vary

Wyoming Aging and Disability Resource Center

Wyoming's ADRC is a statewide information-and-referral pathway for older adults, people with disabilities, and family caregivers. An ADRC navigator may help identify in-home, disability, transportation, benefits, or caregiver resources that fit the person's situation. It is not a cleanup service or emergency response.

Benefits, family assistance, and local human-services navigation - Laramie County; program rules and unit-specific intake apply

Laramie County Department of Family Services

The Laramie County DFS office is a local entry point for Wyoming benefit and family-service programs. It can help clarify the right unit for SNAP, child-care and family supports, or a concern that may need protective-services review. Confirm the current intake process and what information is needed before visiting.

Case management, primary care, behavioral health, housing, veteran housing, and in-home support - Laramie County and nearby Wyoming counties; eligibility and capacity vary

Community Action of Laramie County

Community Action of Laramie County describes case management, Crossroads primary and behavioral-health care, transitional housing, essential-document help, in-home services, and veteran housing.

Some services use sliding fees or income and housing eligibility; ask which program fits and whether there is an opening.

Qualified inpatient, outpatient, psychiatry, therapy, intensive outpatient, and behavioral-health treatment - Cheyenne; clinical intake, payment, and emergency rules apply

Cheyenne Regional Behavioral Health Services

Cheyenne Regional offers inpatient and outpatient behavioral-health services, including therapy, psychiatry, medication management, and an intensive outpatient program. Its published guidance directs people who feel unsafe or may harm themselves or others to 911 or the emergency room. This is qualified clinical care, not a hoarding-specific organizing or cleanup service.

Qualified-care and support search - Cheyenne, telehealth, and national options; providers self-report, credentials, fees, availability, and service area must be confirmed

IOCDF Hoarding Resource Directory

The International OCD Foundation's hoarding directory helps people search for therapists, programs, support groups, organizers, and task forces. A directory listing is not an Alliance endorsement or credential guarantee. Ask about hoarding-specific experience, consent-based pacing, privacy, insurance, fees, and scope before choosing a provider.

Safety and stability

When the concern involves safety, housing, or crisis

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.

Immediate danger and emergency dispatch - Cheyenne and Laramie County; use for fire, medical emergency, violence, or immediate threat

911 Emergency Services

Call 911 when there is immediate danger, fire, a medical emergency, violence, or a threat that cannot wait for a scheduled service. Tell the dispatcher the exact address, hazards, mobility needs, and whether anyone may be trapped. Emergency dispatch is not a hoarding-support program, counseling service, or cleanup provider.

Mental-health and substance-use crisis support - Wyoming and nationwide; free, confidential, 24/7 support; not a substitute for 911

988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline

Call or text 988 for emotional distress, a mental-health or substance-use crisis, or concern about someone else. 988 is not a cleanup provider and does not guarantee an in-home response. Call 911 for immediate danger, fire, violence, or a medical emergency.

Confidential, free domestic-violence safety, shelter, advocacy, and crisis support - Laramie County; safety planning, confidential intake, and capacity rules apply

Safehouse Services

Safehouse Services provides confidential and free crisis and shelter support for women, men, and families affected by domestic violence.

This is not a hoarding-support or cleanup provider.

Property-safety, nuisance, junk/trash, weeds, and neighborhood-compliance pathway - City of Cheyenne; complaint, notice, inspection, and enforcement rules apply

Cheyenne Code Enforcement

Cheyenne Code Enforcement addresses private-property junk and trash, weeds, non-compliant vehicles, graffiti, and related nuisance concerns. The city says the program seeks voluntary compliance when possible and lists weekday staff hours. This is a regulatory pathway that can create housing consequences, not a consent-based support service; ask which department handles the specific concern before reporting.

Public-safety tele-behavioral-health connection for some Laramie County crisis calls - Laramie County; dispatch, voluntary-response, and clinical limits apply

Laramie County Sheriff's Office Virtual Crisis Care

The Laramie County Sheriff's Office has described an Avel eCare virtual crisis-care option that allows deputies to connect people in crisis with licensed behavioral-health providers when emergency detention is not warranted. This is a public-safety response rather than routine therapy, hoarding support, or cleanup. Call 911 for an immediate emergency and ask dispatch what current option is available.

Crime-victim support and referral pathway - City of Cheyenne; victim-service scope and emergency limits apply

Cheyenne Police Department Victim Services

The Wyoming Judicial Branch provides an interactive legal-help guide, self-help forms, and eviction information, while Equal Justice Wyoming connects income-eligible residents with legal resources.

City of Cheyenne Transfer Station and Household Hazardous Waste

The City of Cheyenne Transfer Station at 220 North College Drive lists disposal, recycling, e-waste, and hazardous-waste pathways under separate schedules and rules.

A note from the Alliance

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

This guide is anchored in Cheyenne, Wyoming, 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.
