A Hoarding Alliance local resource guide

Hoarding support in Cody, Wyoming.

You can begin with one question or one safer area. You do not have to solve everything at once, and support should respect the person, their choices, and immediate safety.

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

Start here - Fight the Blight

A first conversation, at your pace

Fight the Blight is the nonprofit front door for a first conversation and virtual peer-group information. You can ask what may fit without agreeing to a cleanout. Local services have different roles, service areas, costs, and eligibility rules; ask before sharing sensitive details or relying on a referral.

A place to start a conversation about hoarding-related needs and ask what nonprofit support or virtual peer groups may fit. Reaching out does not mean agreeing to a cleanout.

Role: nonprofit first-conversation and virtual peer-group front door; geography: remote; ask about Cody and Park County access; cost/eligibility: confirm current group availability, access, and any fee; emergency limit: not crisis response, therapy, or emergency support

For immediate danger

For immediate danger, fire, or urgent medical need, call 911. For a mental or emotional health crisis, call or text 988. Park County Crisis Intervention Services also lists a 24-hour crisis line at 877-864-9688. Wyoming 211 is for help finding community services, not emergency response.
