A Hoarding Alliance local resource guide

Hoarding support in Ely, Nevada.

You deserve support that starts with you—not judgment or pressure to fix everything at once. A first conversation can be about choices, safety, or one concern that matters today.

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

Start here - Fight the Blight

Choose one next step that feels manageable.

You can ask about options before sharing personal details, inviting anyone into your home, or making a plan. Ask what a service costs, who it serves, and what happens next.

Ask about hoarding-related support, a virtual peer group, or guidance for someone you care about. You can start with a question; you do not need a whole-home plan.

Role: nonprofit hoarding-support front door and virtual-group pathway; geography: remote inquiry from White Pine County; cost/eligibility: ask about fit and current availability; emergency limit: not crisis response, therapy, or emergency placement

For immediate danger

For immediate danger, fire, or a life-threatening medical emergency, call 911.
