A Hoarding Alliance local resource guide
If clutter, housing pressure, safety concerns, or a difficult next step are affecting a Church Point household, this guide can help you find the right local doorway without shame or pressure.
Start here - Fight the Blight
Start with the kind of help you need today. Fight the Blight is the nonprofit and virtual-group front door; local government, health, safety, housing, and practical routes below can help with the surrounding conditions that make support possible.
If there is immediate danger, fire, a medical emergency, or a situation that cannot safely wait, call 911. For a mental-health or substance-use crisis without immediate physical danger, call or text 988. These routes are emergency pathways, not hoarding support or cleanup services.

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.
