A Hoarding Alliance local resource guide

Hoarding support in Eunice, Louisiana.

A calm place to begin when clutter, safety, housing, or support needs feel hard to sort out.

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

Start here - Fight the Blight

Begin with a calm, local next step

You do not have to solve everything at once. Start with the kind of help that fits the situation: a nonjudgmental conversation, public-health or rural-health access, a safety response, or practical help with housing, food, transportation, benefits, and community services. Eunice is the city route; some services below are parish-wide, nearby in Opelousas or Crowley, or regional.

For immediate danger

If there is immediate danger, a fire, a medical emergency, a threat of violence, or someone cannot safely remain in the home, call 911. For a mental-health or substance-use crisis, call or text 988; 988 is not a substitute for emergency dispatch.
