Role: nonprofit front door for hoarding support and virtual groups; geography: ask about joining online from Cleburne or elsewhere in Johnson County; cost/eligibility: confirm registration, group fit, and any fees; funded local home services are not assumed; emergency limit: not therapy or emergency response.

This guide is anchored in Cleburne, Texas, 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.
