The Peer Tree
The Peer Tree offers private-pay support for people affected by hoarding and their families. Ask about current options, remote or travel availability, fees, and fit before making plans.
A Hoarding Alliance local resource guide
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.
Start here - Fight the Blight
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, 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.

A note from the Alliance
This guide is anchored in Colville, Washington, 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.
