A Hoarding Alliance local resource guide

Hoarding support in Deming, New Mexico.

You deserve support that respects your choices. Start with one conversation, one safety need, or one practical question. You do not have to be ready to discard anything to ask for help.

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

Start here - Fight the Blight

A first step that can fit your situation

These pathways have different roles. Fight the Blight is the nonprofit and virtual-group front door; The Peer Tree is private-pay support; Unburied is digital peer support, not therapy or emergency support. Ask each organization about current service area, fit, cost, eligibility, and availability.

For immediate danger

For immediate danger, fire, or urgent medical emergency, call 911. For mental-health crisis support, call or text 988 or New Mexico Crisis and Access Line at 1-855-662-7474. La Casa is a domestic-violence survivor pathway, not general shelter or cleanup service.

A note from the Alliance

Start with the person. Then decide what the situation needs.

This guide is anchored in Deming, New Mexico, 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.
