A Hoarding Alliance local resource guide

Hoarding support in Colville, Washington.

You deserve support that begins with your goals, not a judgment about your home. You can ask about one next step—feeling safer, keeping housing, finding support, or getting through this week—without agreeing to sort or discard anything today.

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

Start here - Fight the Blight

Start with the concern that matters most to you

You do not need a complete plan before reaching out. A first step might be a conversation, peer support, behavioral-health care, a housing question, or practical help. These are separate organizations with different roles; ask what each can offer and what it may cost.

A first conversation can help you sort through what kind of support may fit. Ask whether a virtual group or conversation is currently available for your situation and location; no local service availability is assumed.

Role: nonprofit first-conversation and virtual peer-group front door; geography: remote, ask about Stevens County fit; cost/eligibility: confirm current program availability and any cost; emergency limit: nonclinical support is not therapy, crisis response, shelter, or cleanup

For immediate danger

For immediate danger, fire, or urgent medical help, call 911. For emotional distress or a behavioral-health crisis, call or text 988, or call the Northeast Washington regional crisis line at 1-877-266-1818. A particular mobile response, appointment, shelter placement, or service is not guaranteed. For routine community-service referrals, call Washington 211; routine navigation is not emergency dispatch, clinical treatment, or a cleanup service.
