The Peer Tree
A private-pay pathway when grant-funded or public options are not the right fit. Ask about scope, cost, travel, consent, safety, and availability before deciding whether to proceed.
A Hoarding Alliance local resource guide
You can ask for support without first deciding what to keep, move, or change. Start with what feels most urgent—safety, housing, food, health care, or a next conversation—and choose a step that respects the person's choices.
Start here - Fight the Blight
Fight the Blight is the nonprofit and virtual-group front door; The Peer Tree is a separate private-pay option; Unburied is digital peer support. These are different pathways, not clinical or emergency services. Ask about fit, cost, geography, consent, and availability before making a plan.
A people-first place to start when clutter or hoarding is affecting you or someone you care about. Ask about respectful next steps, virtual groups, and what support may fit. You do not have to agree to discard belongings to begin a conversation.
Role: nonprofit hoarding-support front door and virtual peer groups; geography: ask about Corydon, Harrison County, or online options; cost/eligibility: confirm current group access, eligibility, and any costs; emergency limit: nonclinical peer support—not therapy, crisis response, 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 contact LifeSpring's 24/7 crisis line. A crisis line is not emergency dispatch. Indiana 211 can help search for current housing, food, utility, health, and transportation resources, but does not guarantee shelter or an open bed. No general-population shelter in Harrison County was independently verified for this guide; call before traveling. This guide cannot assess a particular home or authorize entry, moving, or discarding belongings. Ask first and preserve the person's choice.
First conversations

These pathways serve different situations. Read the labels carefully before calling, especially when a response may involve crisis care, protective services, shelter, housing rules, legal advocacy, or emergency dispatch.
Call 911 for immediate physical danger, an active fire, or urgent medical help. Do not wait for a routine appointment or referral when someone needs emergency response.

A note from the Alliance
This guide is anchored in Corydon, Indiana, 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.
