A Hoarding Alliance local resource guide
You do not have to be ready to sort or clear anything to ask for support. A first step can be about safety, housing, health, or finding someone to talk with.
Start here - Fight the Blight
Start with a nonprofit conversation, private-pay support, or digital peer support. These are separate organizations; ask each about fit, service area, cost, and current availability.
A first conversation can help 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; cost/eligibility: ask about fit, current 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 suicidal thoughts, call or text 988. Nevada’s Rural Clinics CARE Team offers immediate mental-health telephone triage for adults in rural Nevada at 775-364-8500; confirm its response hours and scope. Survivors can contact the Committee Against Domestic Violence hotline at 775-738-9454. These pathways do not replace 911 for immediate danger.

A note from the Alliance
This guide is anchored in Elko, Nevada, 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.
