A Hoarding Alliance local resource guide

Hoarding support in Corunna, Michigan.

Find a calm next step for support, safety, housing, and local connection in Corunna and Shiawassee County.

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

Start here - Fight the Blight

Start with a person-centered support path

If clutter, safety, housing, or a relationship is becoming harder to manage, you do not have to solve everything at once. Fight the Blight is the Alliance front door for nonprofit and peer-centered support; the local and statewide resources below can help with immediate safety, qualified care, housing, benefits, legal information, transportation, food, and practical access.

For immediate danger

If there is an immediate danger, fire, medical emergency, violence, or threat to life or safety, call 911. The resources below are not a substitute for emergency response, and most do not provide hoarding-specific services.

First conversations

A few good places to start

You do not need to know the perfect service name before reaching out. These organizations can help you understand the landscape and identify a next step.

The Peer Tree

The Peer Tree is the private-pay pathway for organizing help, decluttering support, groups, family guidance, and practical next steps when a grant or public program is not the right fit. Ask about scope, cost, travel, consent, safety, and whether support is available in Corunna or Shiawassee County.

Digital peer-support pathway for people affected by hoarding and clutter concerns - online; current access and eligibility should be confirmed; not therapy or emergency support

Unburied

Unburied, from The Peer Tree, offers a judgment-free digital pathway with peer support, groups, and tools for people directly affected and for friends or family supporters. It is not therapy, a crisis service, or a substitute for emergency help.
