A Hoarding Alliance local resource guide
You deserve support that starts with your priorities—not shame or pressure to clear a home. Whether you are affected, supporting someone, or facing a safety or housing concern, you can ask questions and choose a next step at your own pace.
Start here - Fight the Blight
You can ask for help with one concern, such as a safe path, a place to sit, food, a housing question, or a conversation with someone you trust. Before sharing sensitive details or agreeing to work, ask about privacy, consent, cost, location, eligibility, and what will happen next.
A first conversation can help you sort out what kind of support may fit. Ask whether a current virtual group or conversation is available for your circumstances and location; no local service availability is assumed.
Role: nonprofit first-conversation and virtual peer-group front door; geography: remote, ask whether a current option fits Delaware County; cost/eligibility: confirm program fit and availability; emergency limit: nonclinical support is not therapy, crisis response, shelter, or cleanup
For immediate danger, fire, serious injury, or an urgent medical emergency, call 911. For emotional distress or thoughts of suicide, call or text 988. Delaware County lists MCAT as a mobile-crisis pathway; call to discuss what response is available. The county DSS after-hours line is for DSS crisis assessment, not a substitute for 911 or 988. Routine clinics, peer support, housing applications, and cleanup are not emergency response.

NY Connects can help older adults, people with disabilities, caregivers, family, friends, and others explore long-term support options. The Delhi office is at 97 Main Street, Suite 2. Ask about services, providers, openings, transportation, and eligibility; this is navigation, not a promise of a placement.
Safety and stability
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 an immediate threat, fire, serious injury, or urgent medical emergency. Do not wait for a routine appointment, housing intake, or cleanup visit during an emergency.
Call or text 988, or use online chat, for emotional distress, mental-health or substance-use crisis, suicidal thoughts, or concern for someone else. 988 is not a housing placement or cleanup service.
The provider says its mental-health staff support children and adults in Delaware County and neighboring counties by phone, virtually, and face-to-face, with no fee for MCAT services.

Delaware Opportunities lists Safe Against Violence among its emergency services. Its current site identifies 607-746-1720 for hotline-volunteer information and says hotline volunteers staff a 24/7 line; call the program to confirm the best current confidential contact and safe way to connect.

211 can help search for food, housing, utilities, health care, crisis intervention, and other community services. Ask specifically about current Delaware County options and confirm eligibility and availability with each provider.

The nonprofit lists housing programs such as rental assistance, repair, and Solutions to End Homelessness services, as well as emergency services.

Confirm accepted items, bags, current fees, hours, and trip requirements before loading or transporting belongings.
A note from the Alliance
This guide is anchored in Delhi, New York, 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.
